Polychem AGM 2026: FY26 profit, ₹20 dividend plan details

Polychem schedules 69th AGM on August 25, 2026

Polychem Limited has fixed Tuesday, August 25, 2026, as the date for its 69th Annual General Meeting (AGM), starting at 11:00 a.m. (IST). The Mumbai-based specialty chemicals manufacturer disclosed the schedule in a filing with BSE on July 30, 2026. The company said the meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), in line with regulatory guidance for electronic shareholder meetings. Polychem also clarified that the deemed venue for the AGM will be its registered office at Churchgate, Mumbai. The agenda includes adoption of the audited financial statements for FY26 and consideration of a final dividend proposal.

Why the company is stressing PAN and KYC updates

In the same disclosure, Polychem highlighted the need for shareholders to update Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Know Your Customer (KYC) details. The company linked this to smoother access to corporate communications and delivery of shareholder information. This message is particularly relevant for investors whose email addresses are not registered with the company, depositories, or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA). Polychem’s emphasis follows the regulatory push for standardised investor identification and electronic communication. For shareholders, the practical outcome is that updated PAN, KYC, and email information reduces the risk of missing notices, annual reports, and voting instructions.

Regulation 36(1)(b) and the web-link requirement

Polychem said the notification was issued under Regulation 36(1)(b) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The regulation requires listed entities to provide web-links to annual reports for members who have not registered their email addresses. Polychem’s compliance team stated that letters were sent to shareholders identified as having unregistered email addresses as of the cut-off date of July 17, 2026. These letters contained the web-link to the Annual Report for FY26. The approach is aimed at ensuring that investors without email registration still have access to mandatory disclosures.

Where shareholders can access the FY26 annual report and AGM notice

Polychem stated that the complete Annual Report for FY26 and the AGM notice are available on its official website, www.polychemltd.com, via the investor relations section path referenced in the communication. The AGM notice is also available on NSDL’s website, as NSDL is the agency providing e-voting facilities. Investors can additionally access the notice on the BSE Limited website. Together, these channels ensure redundancy in access points, particularly for shareholders who may not receive the documents directly through email.

How to update email details: demat vs physical shareholders

Polychem asked shareholders holding shares in electronic form to update email addresses through their Depository Participants. For shareholders holding physical shares, or those who need direct help, the company pointed them to its RTA: MUFG Intime India Private Limited (formerly Link Intime India Private Limited). This split process reflects the different record-keeping systems for demat holdings and physical share certificates. The company’s communication indicates that email registration is central to receiving electronic notices and annual reports, especially for VC/OAVM AGMs.

Dividend proposal: ₹20 per share and record date

The Board has proposed a final dividend of ₹20 per equity share of face value ₹10, which equals 200% of face value. If shareholders approve the proposal, the total dividend outgo is expected to be ₹0.80809 crore. Polychem reported that the record date for the dividend was July 17, 2026. The company also stated that the dividend, if approved, will be paid on or after August 25, 2026. Polychem’s annual report notes that the dividend rate is the same as the previous year.

FY26 financial snapshot: sharp rise in profit and income

Polychem reported a standalone profit after tax of ₹10.1409 crore for FY 2025-26, compared with ₹3.3676 crore in the previous year, which the company described as a tripling in profit. Total standalone income rose to ₹36.8918 crore from ₹26.9319 crore. On a consolidated basis, profit after tax increased to ₹29.8427 crore from ₹3.8419 crore. The company attributed the consolidated jump to a significant gain on sale of property at its subsidiary, Gujarat Poly Electronics Limited. Polychem also reported foreign exchange earnings of ₹20.4925 crore for the year.

Balance sheet and capital structure points disclosed

Polychem stated that it maintained a debt-free balance sheet. On a standalone basis, reserves and surplus were reported at ₹42.8787 crore. The company also disclosed that its issued and paid-up share capital remained unchanged at ₹0.4040 crore, consisting of 4,04,045 equity shares of ₹10 each. These figures frame the dividend outgo and provide context for the company’s capital base.

E-voting window, VC entry time, and book closure

Polychem said shareholders can join the AGM through VC/OAVM starting 30 minutes before the scheduled time. Remote e-voting opens on August 21, 2026 at 09:00 a.m. and closes on August 24, 2026 at 05:00 p.m. The register of members will remain closed from August 19 to August 25, 2026. For institutional shareholders, Polychem specified that board resolutions must be submitted to the scrutinizer, Ms. Ragini Chokshi, via email. These process details matter because they determine eligibility timelines and the ability to vote without attending the live meeting.
