Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Anjani Portland Cement's board, at its August 12, 2025 meeting, approved Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) unaudited results showing a clear turnaround: standalone revenue rose about 19% year-on-year to Rs. 11,574 lakhs, profit before tax swung to Rs. 253 lakhs from a loss of Rs. 1,062 lakhs, and net loss narrowed sharply to Rs. 56 lakhs from Rs. 1,006 lakhs a year ago (EPS of Rs. 0.02 vs Rs. (3.43)). Consolidated revenue grew to Rs. 13,953 lakhs with a net loss of Rs. 561 lakhs, an improvement from Rs. 1,310 lakhs. Ms. Krithika Vijay Karthik was appointed as the new Company Secretary and Compliance Officer with 22 years of secretarial and compliance experience. M/s. Narasimha Murthy & Co. were re-appointed as Cost Auditors for FY26, and M/s. D Hanumantha Raju & Co. were appointed as Secretarial Auditors for a five-year term (FY26–FY30), subject to shareholder approval. Material related-party transactions with holding company Chettinad Cement Corporation, subsidiary Bhavya Cements, and KMP-controlled entity Chettinad Minerals and Logistics were approved. The 41st AGM was scheduled for September 25, 2025 via video conferencing.
A meaningful operational improvement with the standalone business returning to pre-tax profitability and sharply reducing its bottom-line loss, though it is not yet in the black. The change in Company Secretary is a routine KMP appointment (not a departure), and the related-party transactions are typical for a subsidiary of Chettinad Cement and will need shareholder ratification at the AGM. Overall, the filing is a mixed-to-positive business update rather than a governance red flag.
