Dividend Declaration

In its annual general meeting (AGM) on September 1, the company’s board recommended a 10% dividend, translating to ₹0.10 per equity share, for the financial year 2024-25.

Sigachi Industries Q1 FY26 Financial Results

For the first quarter of FY26, Sigachi reported an 11% decline in consolidated net profit, which came in at ₹13.26 crore, compared to ₹15.03 crore in the same period last year. Despite the drop in profitability, the company delivered impressive revenue growth of 23% YoY, with revenues rising to ₹128.2 crore against ₹104.1 crore a year earlier.

The fall in profit was largely attributed to a sharp rise in expenses. Total expenses increased to ₹107.7 crore in Q1, compared to ₹94.1 crore in the previous year’s corresponding quarter, which impacted the overall margins.
