Shyam Century Ferrous Limited has announced that the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 19, 2026, to September 25, 2026, inclusive. This book closure period precedes the company’s 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for September 25, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via Video Conferencing. The announcement confirms the logistical framework for shareholder participation in the upcoming meeting, where key corporate actions including auditor re-appointments will be ratified.

The Board of Directors approved these details alongside the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26). During this quarter, Shyam Century Ferrous reported a net loss of ₹80.95 lakh, a significant improvement from the ₹402.80 lakh net loss recorded in Q1FY25. Despite the operating loss, the company’s total comprehensive income remained positive at ₹95.44 lakh, driven by gains in its investment portfolio. The company continues to wind down its core ferro silicon manufacturing business, having ceased production at its Meghalaya facility in May 2025.

Financial Performance Overview

Revenue from operations under discontinued operations fell sharply to ₹32.88 lakh in Q1FY26, down from ₹1,419.46 lakh in the same period last year. However, other income, primarily derived from investments, rose to ₹246.58 lakh from ₹198.67 lakh year-over-year. Total expenses stood at ₹314.31 lakh, leading to a pre-tax loss of ₹34.85 lakh. After accounting for a deferred tax charge of ₹46.10 lakh, the net loss widened to ₹80.95 lakh.

Particulars	Q1FY26 (₹ Lakh)	Q1FY25 (₹ Lakh)	Change
Revenue from Operations	32.88	1,419.46	-
Other Income	246.58	198.67	+47.91
Total Expenses	314.31	2,017.46	-
Net Profit/(Loss)	(80.95)	(402.80)	+321.85
Total Comprehensive Income	95.44	675.50	-580.06

While the net loss improved compared to the previous year’s deficit, total comprehensive income declined to ₹95.44 lakh from ₹675.50 lakh in Q1FY25. This divergence highlights the volatility in fair value changes of equity investments, which contributed ₹202.78 lakh to other comprehensive income this quarter. Management confirmed that the company remains a going concern, sustained by interest income from a substantial liquid investment portfolio, with no intention to liquidate the entity.

Corporate Actions and AGM Details

The Board approved the re-appointment of M/s. D. K. Chhajer & Co., Chartered Accountants, as Statutory Auditors for a five-year term from the conclusion of the 15th AGM until the 20th AGM. Additionally, M/s. K. Baldwa & Co., Chartered Accountants, were re-appointed as Internal Auditors for FY26-27. Both appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM.

The Annual Report will be dispatched electronically to registered members. Shareholders are advised to note the book closure dates to ensure their names appear on the Register of Members as of the record date for voting rights and dividend entitlements, if any.
