Standard Surfactants Ltd. expects a delay in submitting its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, following a fire incident at its plant in Mandideep, Madhya Pradesh. The company reported to BSE that the fire, which occurred on May 3, 2026, resulted in the loss of data and other records, making it unable to finalize the accounts within the regulatory timeline. The trading window for designated persons remains closed until 48 hours after the declaration of the financial results, in accordance with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations.

The company stated that despite its best efforts, the loss of information has hindered the completion of the audit process. It affirmed its commitment to submitting the audited results within a reasonable time. A board meeting will be convened to adopt the audited results, and prior intimation will be sent to the stock exchange.
