The company formally disclosed this initiative through newspaper publications as required under regulatory guidelines.

Regulatory Disclosure and Publication

Pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Crisil published newspaper advertisements on April 29, 2026, in Financial Express and Sakal newspapers.

Special Window for Physical Share Transfer

Following SEBI circular HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-POD/13750/2026 dated January 30, 2026, Crisil has opened a special window for a period of one year from February 5, 2026, till February 4, 2027. This facility is specifically designed for shareholders who wish to transfer and dematerialize physical securities that were sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019.

The special window also accommodates transfer requests that were previously submitted but faced issues. These include requests that were rejected, returned, or remained unattended due to deficiencies in documents, processes, or other reasons.

Submission Process and Requirements

Eligible shareholders must submit original transfer documents or missing details to KFin Technologies Limited, the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent. The documents should be sent to:

KFin Technologies Limited, Unit Crisil Limited
301, The Centrium, 3rd Floor

Shareholders can also reach out via email at einward.nsg@kfintech.com or call 1800 3094 001 for any queries related to the process.

Lock-in Provisions and KYC Updates

Shares that are re-logged for transfer during this period will be issued exclusively in dematerialized mode. These securities will be subject to specific restrictions including a one-year lock-in period from the date of registration of transfer, during which securities cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged.

The company has emphasized the importance of updating Know Your Customer (KYC) details for shareholders holding physical certificates and warned that unclaimed dividends will be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) after the expiry of seven years, along with the corresponding shares.

Financial Performance Overview

The company delivered strong financial results for FY25 and Q1 FY26. For Financial Year 25, revenues grew by 11.9% year-on-year, reflecting broad-based performance across all businesses. The momentum strengthened further in Q1 FY26, with revenues up 30.1% year-on-year. Profit before tax increased by 12.4% in full year 25 and 35.7% in Q1 FY26. At the profit after tax level, the company delivered 12.6% growth in FY25 and a robust 45.9% growth in Q1 FY26.

Q1 FY26 included a foreign exchange gain of INR14.4 crores compared to a loss of INR5.2 crores in the corresponding quarter last year. Additionally, accelerated closure of renewals in one global business led to incremental revenues of approximately USD4.5 million in Q1 FY26, largely a timing effect expected to normalize over the year.

Segment Performance

The research analytics and solutions segment delivered strong Q1 FY26 performance, with income from operations growing 34.9% year-on-year to INR735.6 crores. Segment profit increased 66.9% year-on-year, with margins expanding to 22.7% compared to 18.3% in the corresponding quarter last year. For the full year 2025, this segment revenues grew 9.4% year-on-year to INR2,572.4 crores, with segment profit increasing 12.6% and margins improving to 22%.

The rating services segment grew by approximately 20.2% year-on-year in Q1 2026, supported by strong traction in both surveillance fees and new rating revenues. The Global Analytical Center division saw growth from new engagements and robust surveillance work delegation from S&P Global Rating Services.

Macroeconomic Outlook

Crisil expects India's GDP to grow at 7.1% in the base case for this fiscal, compared with 7.6% in the last fiscal. Increasing downside risk from the ongoing West Asia conflict could slow GDP growth to 6.8% this fiscal if the conflict prolongs through April. On the inflation front, the company projects an average of 4.5% in Fiscal 2027, with potential to touch 4.7% depending on conflict duration and impact.

Global growth is forecast to moderate to 3.2% in 2026, with the US economy expected to remain resilient, growing to 2.2% in 2026, supported by energy independence, strong domestic consumption, and investment in big tech and AI.

Gen-AI Strategy

The company outlined its Gen-AI strategy through four key levers: domain-led AI, horizontal AI capabilities, workforce AI expertise, and responsible AI. In 2025, Crisil launched several pioneering Gen-AI products including GenEye Credit for automating credit report creation, DeepMind for intelligent loan data extraction, Crisil i360 unified intelligence platform, and ICON for AI-first credit workflow management. The company received 26 independent AI-related recognitions, including 20 from Chartis Research.
