Voith Paper Fabrics fixes Aug 12 record date for FY26

Record date set for FY26 dividend eligibility

Voith Paper Fabrics India Limited has fixed Wednesday, August 12, 2026 as the record date to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The record date is used to identify members whose names appear in the register of members or depository records on that date. Investors holding shares as of the record date are considered for dividend entitlement, subject to the company’s process and shareholder approval at the AGM.

The company’s board has recommended a final dividend of 100%, which is ₹10 per equity share of ₹10 each, fully paid-up, for FY26. The dividend remains subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Final dividend to be paid only through electronic mode

Voith Paper Fabrics India said it will pay dividends only through electronic mode. The company linked this payment method to KYC compliance of shareholders’ folios, and cited Regulation 12 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. This means shareholders need updated KYC and bank details to receive payouts electronically.

The company’s communication also highlights that shareholders holding shares in physical form, or shareholders whose email IDs are not registered, should update their details with the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent. This is intended to ensure they receive electronic communications and can access the e-voting system.

56th AGM date, time, and meeting format

The 56th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Voith Paper Fabrics India Limited is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. IST. The meeting will be held through video conferencing or other audio-visual means.

As stated by the company, the AGM will be conducted without the physical presence of members, in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and the relevant circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and SEBI. The company also clarified that the deemed venue for the AGM will be its Registered Office.

Remote e-voting window and platform details

Shareholders will be able to vote remotely on the businesses set out in the AGM notice through the e-voting system of CDSL. The remote e-voting facility is scheduled to open on Sunday, August 16, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. IST and close on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. IST.

After the closing time, the company noted that the portal will be disabled automatically. This makes the voting window time-bound, which is particularly relevant for shareholders who plan to participate but cannot attend the AGM live.

AGM notice and annual report to be shared electronically

The company will send the AGM notice along with the 56th Annual Report for the financial year 2025/26 to shareholders in electronic mode only. It also said the documents will be available on the company’s website, the CDSL website, and the BSE Limited website.

For shareholders who have not registered their email IDs, the company asked them to update their details to enable electronic delivery of documents and smooth participation in the e-voting process.

Key financial context: FY26 net profit and dividend recommendation

Voith Paper Fabrics India announced its audited financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026 and reported a net profit of ₹414.49 million. The company reported net profit of ₹398.93 million in FY25, indicating a year-on-year increase based on the audited figures cited.

Against this backdrop, the board recommended the final dividend of ₹10 per share for FY26. The company has stated that the dividend recommendation is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

Comparison with FY25 AGM and record date disclosures

The company’s disclosures also refer to the prior year’s shareholder timeline. For FY25, August 08, 2025 was stated as the record date for determining entitlement to receive the dividend for the year ended March 31, 2025. The 55th AGM was held on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

The earlier AGM documentation referenced remote e-voting that began at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, August 18, 2025 and ended at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. Like the FY26 AGM, the FY25 AGM process referenced video conferencing and electronic voting facilities.

Market and company profile details mentioned in disclosures

Voith Paper Fabrics India Limited was incorporated in 1968 and manufactures and trades paper machine clothing for the pulp, paper, and board industry. It is described as a subsidiary of VP Auslandsbeteiligungen GmbH and belongs to the Voith Group of Companies, Germany.

The provided company snapshot also mentions a market capitalisation of ₹852 crore, a current price of ₹1,940, and a 52-week high/low of ₹3,099 / ₹1,330. These figures provide context for investors tracking the stock around dividend and AGM timelines.

Why the record date and KYC condition matter for shareholders

The August 12, 2026 record date is the operational cut-off for dividend eligibility. But the company has also clearly linked dividend payouts to electronic payment and KYC compliance. For shareholders, that makes bank details and KYC status a practical requirement, not a formality.

The electronic-only delivery of AGM notice and the annual report adds another compliance angle. Shareholders without registered email IDs, or those holding physical shares with incomplete details, may face friction unless they update their records with the company or its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.

Conclusion

Voith Paper Fabrics India has set August 12, 2026 as the record date for its FY26 dividend, with the 56th AGM scheduled on August 19, 2026 through video conferencing. Remote e-voting will be available from August 16 to August 18, 2026 via CDSL, and the company has reiterated that dividend payments will be made only through electronic mode, subject to KYC-compliant folios. The final dividend of ₹10 per share will be considered for approval at the AGM.
