Bhagwati Autocast has submitted its 43rd Annual Report for FY 2024-25 along with the AGM notice to BSE. The 43rd AGM is scheduled for Tuesday, 16 September 2025 at 11:00 a.m. via video conferencing, with e-voting window from 12–15 September 2025 and 9 September 2025 as the cut-off date. Key financial highlights: Sales & Other Income rose about 4.5% year-on-year to Rs. 14,076.51 lakhs (from Rs. 13,472.78 lakhs), but Profit After Tax fell roughly 11% to Rs. 615.82 lakhs (from Rs. 693.02 lakhs), pulling EPS down to Rs. 21.38 from Rs. 24.06. Production volumes grew to 14,953 MT from 13,939 MT, while raw material, labour and power costs all rose. The board has recommended a 20% dividend (same as FY 2023-24), to be paid electronically. Net worth strengthened to Rs. 4,648.41 lakhs with book value per share at Rs. 161.37, and the debt-equity ratio improved to 0.129:1 from 0.206:1. Business items at the AGM include adopting accounts, declaring the dividend, ratifying the cost auditor's remuneration, appointing M/s. Chirag Shah & Associates as Secretarial Auditors for five years (FY 2025-26 to 2029-30), re-appointing Dr. Pravin N. Bhagwati as director, and re-appointing Ms. Reena Bhagwati as Managing Director for three years from 26 September 2025.
Shareholders get continued 20% dividend despite a single-digit decline in profits, and the company's net worth and book value keep strengthening with a much lower debt-equity ratio — broadly stable fundamentals though margins are under pressure from higher input costs.
