A higher proposed dividend, robust FY25 earnings and routine governance items anchor DFPCL’s 45th AGM on September 9.
MUMBAI (India CSR): Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (DFPCL) has called its 45th Annual General Meeting for Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. IST. The meeting will be conducted in virtual mode. Shareholders will vote on the FY25 accounts and a final dividend of Rs. 10 per share.
DFPCL will host the AGM through video conferencing/other audio-visual means (VC/OAVM), with the registered office deemed as the venue. Ordinary business includes adoption of the standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY25 and declaration of the final dividend. The board has also placed routine proposals: re-appointment of Mrs. Parul Sailesh Mehta, who retires by rotation, ratification of cost auditor remuneration, and appointment of GDR & Partners LLP as secretarial auditors.
The company has proposed a final dividend of Rs. 10 per equity share (face value Rs. 10). If approved at the AGM, it will be paid to eligible shareholders within the statutory timeline. Exchange disclosures indicate an ex-dividend date of September 2, 2025. This is higher than last year’s Rs. 8.50.
For investor participation, remote e-voting opens at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 6, 2025, and closes at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 8, 2025. The cut-off date for eligibility is Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
KFin Technologies will facilitate e-voting and the e-AGM. The company has clarified that, given the virtual format, proxy appointments are dispensed with, though members can vote during the meeting if they have not exercised remote e-voting.
Operationally, DFPCL enters the AGM on a strong footing. For FY25, consolidated operating revenue rose to Rs. 10,274 crore (up 18% year-on-year), while profit after tax more than doubled to Rs. 945 crore (up 102% YoY).
Q4 FY25 revenue grew 28% YoY and PAT rose 21% to Rs. 278 crore. Management also highlighted a rising share of specialty products in the mix. The board recommended the 100% (Rs. 10) dividend alongside these results.
The company has continued to advance its capex pipeline. Earlier updates this year pointed to progress at key projects, including mining chemicals and nitric acid capacity additions, aimed at strengthening its industrial chemicals and TAN (technical ammonium nitrate) businesses. These expansions are positioned to support margins and reduce import dependence in the medium term.
DFPCL has circulated its FY25 Annual Report and AGM Notice to exchanges and made them available on its website. Newspaper notices dated August 14, 2025, were also published to guide shareholders on participation, book-closure and voting processes. The company says e-AGM login will open 15 minutes before and after the scheduled start time, and up to 1,000 members can join on a first-come basis.
