IFB Agro Industries held its 43rd AGM on July 30, 2025, in Kolkata, where all four resolutions were passed with overwhelming shareholder approval (99.9999% in favour on each). Resolutions included adoption of FY25 audited financial statements, re-appointment of Mr. Arup Kumar Banerjee as Director (retiring by rotation), his re-appointment as Executive Vice Chairman for another 2 years, and appointment of M/s LABH & LABH Associates as Secretarial Auditor for FY2025-26 to FY2029-30. Total shareholders on record date were 70,748, of which 84 attended in person, and 65.25% of outstanding shares were polled. The Chairman shared business updates: FY25 performance improved year-on-year but distillery margins were hit by soaring raw material prices driven by ethanol demand, and the Indian Made Liquor (IML) business faced challenges from excise authority disruptions. A major announcement was the Board's approval (May 30, 2025) to acquire Cargill India's entire compound shrimp feed and freshwater fish feed business in India, with Rs 353 crore turnover (as of March 31, 2025), including manufacturing facilities at Vijayawada and Rajahmundry, expected to close on July 31, 2025. The company also plans a value-added prawn project in Vietnam.
The Cargill India feed business acquisition (Rs 353 crore turnover) is a significant growth move that will expand IFB Agro's fish and shrimp feed operations and use spare capacity. However, ongoing distillery margin pressure, excise authority disruptions in West Bengal, and shifting IML consumer behaviour remain near-term headwinds. Resolutions passed unanimously, so no governance overhang for shareholders.
