V-Marc India Limited has called for a postal ballot to seek shareholder approval for a 5:1 bonus issue, an increase in authorised share capital, and the appointment of an independent director. The remote e-voting facility is open from May 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST to June 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST. Shareholders whose names appear in the register of members or list of beneficial owners as on the cut-off date of May 22, 2026, are eligible to vote.

Bonus Issue and Capital Increase

The Board of Directors has recommended the issuance of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 5:1, meaning shareholders will receive five new fully paid-up equity shares of ₹10 each for every one share held. This issue will be funded by capitalizing a sum not exceeding ₹1,22,10,34,800 from the Securities Premium Account or other permissible reserves. The record date for determining eligibility will be decided by the Board upon approval.

Consequently, the company proposes to increase its authorised share capital from ₹30,00,00,000 divided into 3,00,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each to ₹1,50,00,00,000 divided into 15,00,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each. This requires the alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association.

Appointment of Independent Director

Shareholders are also asked to approve the appointment of Dr. Shailesh Kumar Agrawal (DIN: 11622405) as an Independent Director for a term of five years commencing from March 23, 2026. He was initially appointed as an Additional Director by the Board on March 23, 2026. Dr. Agrawal is a Ph.D. in Earthquake Engineering from IIT Roorkee and formerly served as the Executive Director of the Building Materials & Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC).

Voting and Scrutiny Details

M/s Komal & Associates, Practicing Company Secretary, has been appointed as the scrutinizer to ensure the fairness and transparency of the postal ballot e-voting process. The results will be announced on the company's website and communicated to the stock exchanges. Resolutions passed with the requisite majority will be deemed effective on the last date of remote e-voting, June 29, 2026.

Bonus Issue Ratio 5:1 (5 new shares for 1 existing share)

The statutory auditors, M/s Rajeev Singal & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued an unmodified opinion on both the standalone and consolidated audited financial results.

FY26 Full-Year Financial Performance

Management Commentary

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Vikas Garg, Chairman & Managing Director of V-Marc India, stated: "FY26 has been a landmark year for V-Marc. We crossed ₹1,800 Crore in turnover, nearly doubling our scale over the prior year, on the back of strong demand across our segments and an unwavering commitment towards quality. We have lined up capacity expansion plans of over ₹5 billion through FY30, taking our installed capacity to more than 4 times of current levels and beyond 10 lakh km by the end of the decade. During FY26, we commissioned an additional e-beam line and launched India's first e-beam submersible cable for agricultural applications. Exports will be a defining theme for our next leg of growth — we have set up a dedicated export team out of our Mumbai office and plan to participate in 6–10 global expos in FY27, with the EU, US and Australia as priority markets. With capacity, retail, exports and product innovation moving in step, we are confident of sustaining 40%+ revenue growth over the next 3–5 years."

Industry Backdrop and Outlook

India's wires and cables industry, valued at approximately ₹900 billion in FY25, has accelerated to a 13–14% growth pace against the long-term approximately 10% trajectory, driven by sustained capital expenditure across power transmission and distribution, renewables, real estate, railways and manufacturing. The market is expected to reach approximately ₹1,500 billion by FY29 at approximately 13% CAGR. The National Electricity Plan envisages ₹9.15 trillion of transmission investment through FY32, with cables and wires typically accounting for 14–15% of T&D project capital expenditure. For FY27, the company is targeting revenue growth of 40%+, with EBITDA margin reiterated in the 11–12% band, supported by a richer product mix, deeper backward integration in compounds and conductors, and operating leverage. To support the next phase of growth, the company has committed to a capital expenditure programme of approximately ₹5,000 million through FY30 — inclusive of ₹979 million already deployed during FY26 — which will take installed production capacity to over 10 lakh circuit kilometres, commissioned in calibrated tranches across FY27 to FY30 and broadly self-funded from internal accruals.
