The Board approved audited consolidated and standalone financial results for Q4 and FY25. Consolidated revenue from operations grew to ₹2,123.40 crores from ₹1,840.83 crores, but profit for the year fell sharply to ₹73.01 crores from ₹123.55 crores, mainly due to an exceptional loss of ₹60.55 crores linked to a major fire at the Vashivali plant in April 2024 (total carrying value loss of ₹160.18 crores, partially offset by ₹95 crores insurance interim relief). The Board recommended a final dividend of Re. 1 per share (10%) for FY25, subject to AGM approval, with the 69th AGM scheduled for August 12, 2025. Mr. Kedar Vaze was re-appointed as Whole-time Director & Group CEO for three years from September 1, 2025, and Ms. Pallavi Gokhale was appointed as an Additional Non-Executive Non-Independent Director from July 1, 2025. The Board also approved the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary, Keva Middle East FZE, in the UAE, and appointed new secretarial, internal, and cost auditors for FY26.
Strong revenue growth is a positive, but the sharp drop in net profit due to the Vashivali fire loss (even with partial insurance recovery) is a concern for shareholders. The final dividend of Re. 1 per share offers modest income. CEO continuity and UAE expansion signal strategic stability and growth focus.
