What the Numbers Show
While revenue declined by approximately 10% year-on-year, profitability improved significantly. The company generated a profit before tax of ₹325.10 lakh in FY26 compared to a loss before exceptional items of ₹207.23 lakh in FY25. This turnaround occurred despite lower operating income, suggesting effective cost management or favorable non-operating adjustments during the period.
Board and Remuneration Changes
Shareholders will vote on a special resolution to revise Mr. Loyalka’s monthly remuneration from ₹1,26,800 to ₹1,76,800, effective August 12, 2026. This represents an annual increase of ₹6 lakh. The proposed annual remuneration of ₹21.22 lakh exceeds the five percent limit of net profits prescribed under Section 197(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, necessitating shareholder approval.
Mrs. Urmila Loyalka, a Non-Executive Woman Director, retires by rotation at the meeting and offers herself for re-appointment. The Board also noted several changes in independent director composition during the year, including the appointment of Mrs. Priyanka Poddar and Mrs. Rasna Goyal.
