Kitex Garments AGM 2026: Sep 25 meet, Sep 18 record date

What the latest disclosure says

Kitex Garments Limited has scheduled its 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Friday, September 25, 2026. The company said the meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM), in line with applicable regulatory frameworks for virtual shareholder meetings. Alongside the AGM update, the company also informed exchanges about the key dates linked to its final dividend process for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26).

The disclosure also references the publication of a newspaper notice on September 1, 2026, covering the AGM notice and related information. The company stated that the disclosure is made under Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

AGM date, time, and virtual meeting format

The 34th AGM is scheduled to begin at 11:00 am on September 25, 2026. The company has indicated it will conduct the meeting via VC/OAVM, which allows shareholders to attend and participate remotely. The communication notes compliance with circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and SEBI relating to virtual gatherings.

For shareholders, the virtual format typically means participation and voting processes are routed through approved electronic systems. The disclosure does not provide platform details in the excerpted information, but it confirms the meeting will be held through the VC/OAVM route and is intended to be compliant with the relevant circulars.

Record date set for FY26 final dividend eligibility

Kitex Garments has fixed September 18, 2026 as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the final dividend for FY26. The company said the Board of Directors has recommended a dividend on equity shares for FY26, and the payout will be subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

Record date matters because only shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register of members (or as beneficial owners in depository records) as on that date are entitled to receive the dividend, if approved. The company has also clarified that payment, if approved, would be made within 30 days of the AGM date, and will be subject to tax deduction at source (TDS) as applicable.

Book closure period and its implications

In addition to the record date, the company disclosed the book closure period under Regulation 42 of SEBI LODR. The book closure is set from September 18, 2026 to September 25, 2026.

Book closure is an administrative window during which the company finalises the list of eligible shareholders for corporate actions such as dividends and AGM voting entitlements. In practical terms, this means the shareholder register is “closed” for transfers during the period for the purpose of determining eligibility. The key takeaway from the disclosure is that September 18, 2026 is the relevant cutoff date for dividend entitlement and related eligibility linked to the AGM.

Newspaper notice: where the AGM notice was published

Kitex Garments said the newspaper notice regarding the AGM was published on September 1, 2026. The notice appeared in The Hindu Business Line (All India Editions) and in Malayalam in the Chandrika newspaper (Kochi Edition).

Such publications are part of the company’s compliance obligations under SEBI LODR, particularly for communicating shareholder meeting details and other required information to a wider audience. The disclosure specifically cites Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 in this context.

Key dates at a glance

Context from prior AGM disclosures and dividend history

Exchange-disclosed AGM/EGM history shows that Kitex Garments has held AGMs annually, with publicly shown prior records including final dividend references for earlier years. For example, the AGM records listed for September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 include a final dividend detail of Rs. 1.5000 per share (150%).

This historical detail does not indicate what the FY26 final dividend amount will be, because the FY26 dividend figure is not provided in the available disclosure excerpt. What is confirmed is the Board’s recommendation for an FY26 dividend and the process timeline tied to record date, book closure, and AGM approval.

Market checks: what was visible on reported prices

The information provided includes two reported price points for Kitex Garments shares. One reference states the share price was Rs 144.85 as on August 7, 2026 (03:57 PM IST). Another line states the “current price” as ₹126.00 in the context of the September 1, 2026 update.

These prices are not presented with intraday change, volume, or a cause-and-effect link to the AGM announcement in the provided text. Still, they provide a basic reference for investors tracking corporate action announcements alongside market pricing.

Why the announcement matters for shareholders

AGM scheduling and record-date disclosure are operationally important because they set the timelines for shareholder participation and corporate action entitlements. For dividend-focused investors, September 18, 2026 is the key eligibility date for the FY26 final dividend, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

For governance-focused shareholders, the AGM is also the statutory forum where voting on ordinary and special business typically takes place, and the company’s compliance notes indicate the meeting will follow MCA and SEBI circulars for virtual proceedings.

What to watch next

The next milestone is the AGM on September 25, 2026. If shareholders approve the final dividend for FY26 at the meeting, the company has stated that payment would be made within 30 days from the AGM date, subject to applicable TDS. Investors tracking the outcome will typically look for post-AGM disclosures confirming resolutions passed and timelines for dividend dispatch or credit.
