Shalibhadra Finance has scheduled a meeting of its Board of Directors for September 2, 2026. The primary agenda item is to consider and recommend a dividend on equity shares, if any.

The company notified the stock exchanges of the upcoming corporate action on August 29, 2026. The decision regarding the payout will be made during the board session held on the specified date.

Trading Window Closure

The closure period commenced on August 29, 2026, and will remain in effect until September 4, 2026. This restriction prevents insiders from trading in the company’s securities during the sensitive period surrounding the potential dividend announcement.

The intimation was issued pursuant to Regulation 29 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company has requested the exchanges to inform their members of the board meeting and the associated trading restrictions.

Shalibhadra Finance Limited opened a new branch in Jamnagar, Gujarat, on August 26, 2026, expanding its total branch network to 62 across India. The move strengthens the non-banking financial company’s presence in western India, where it targets underserved rural and semi-urban segments.

Shalibhadra Finance now operates 30 branches in Gujarat, 21 in Maharashtra, 10 in Madhya Pradesh, and 1 in Rajasthan.

The company cited Jamnagar’s dual economy of industrial hubs and agricultural wealth as key drivers for local commuting needs and loan demand.

Geographic Expansion Strategy

The new branch reinforces Shalibhadra’s focus on western India. The company serves unbanked and underserved regions with specialized financing solutions. It offers two-wheeler loans, car loans, property loans, and personal loans.

Business Profile

Shalibhadra Finance reported an asset under management of ₹220+ crore and an active customer base of more than 1 lakh. The company follows a prudent lending model with a focus on risk management and asset quality. Operations are supported by robust governance and technology-enabled processes.
