Eligibility to vote is determined by the cut-off date of August 12, 2026. Members whose names appear in the Register of Members or the register of Beneficial Owners maintained by Depositories as of this date are entitled to vote.

To determine dividend entitlements and voting rights, the company will close its register of members and share transfer books. The closure period spans from August 13, 2026, to August 19, 2026, both days inclusive. During this window, no transfers of shares will be registered. This measure ensures an accurate record of shareholders eligible for participation in the annual meeting.

Sri Chakra Cement Limited has temporarily suspended its manufacturing operations at its Karampudi unit in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, effective June 27, 2026, due to acute working capital constraints. The suspension is complete and affects 100% of the company's operations, halting production to prevent further capital erosion while the firm explores revival options. The estimated indicative revenue impact for the assessment horizon is approximately ₹130 crore per annum, although fixed overheads and statutory dues continue to accrue.

The decision was taken as a prudent measure to safeguard stakeholder value while the company actively mobilizes additional working capital. Management is evaluating restructuring and other revival options to improve liquidity and resume manufacturing. At present, a definitive timeline for recommencement cannot be ascertained and depends on the successful implementation of these funding initiatives.

Impact on Operations and Financials

The cessation of production results in a loss of manufacturing revenue for the duration of the suspension. The company noted that a precise quantification of the financial impact depends on how long the suspension lasts. Despite the shutdown, the company continues to take steps to safeguard plant assets and inventory, and remains committed to complying with statutory and employee obligations to the extent feasible.

Key Disclosures on Suspension

Asset Protection and Future Updates

All assets are adequately insured to the extent of ₹151.50 crores by a Standard Fire and special perils insurance policy. The company confirmed that promoters, the promoter group, directors, or Key Managerial Personnel are not interested in the event. Sri Chakra Cement Limited has committed to disclosing material developments, including the recommencement of operations or funding outcomes, promptly under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations.
