Consequently, profit before tax fell to ₹894.18 crore from ₹1,018.26 crore. After accounting for current and deferred tax expenses, the standalone net profit after tax was reported at ₹658.04 crore, compared to ₹753.74 crore in the previous year.

Director Re-Appointments

Shareholders will vote on several ordinary and special resolutions regarding board composition. Mrs. Pramila Jajodia and Mr. Yogesh Kumar Agrawal are seeking re-appointment as directors liable to retire by rotation. Additionally, the meeting will consider the re-appointment of Mr. Yogesh Kumar Agrawal as Whole-time Director for three years commencing January 1, 2027, with remuneration up to ₹84 lakh per annum plus leave encashment.

Mr. Ramesh Chandra Goyal is also seeking re-appointment as Whole-time Director for three years starting June 28, 2027, with similar remuneration terms. Given that he has attained the age of 70 years, this requires approval via a special resolution under Section 196(3)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013. The company noted that while there was no loss in FY26, profits may be inadequate in terms of Section 197 for payment of managerial remuneration.

Independent Directors Mr. Yashwant Jain Nandecha and Mr. Sandeep Agrawal are seeking re-appointment for a second term of five consecutive years each, effective July 7, 2027. Both will serve without remuneration.
