The Board of Directors has recommended a Dividend of Rs.4/- per share (40%), amounting to Rs 72.53 Crore on the Equity Share Capital for the financial year ended 31st March 2026.

High wood cost and low priced imports have severely eroded industry margins. Despite this, the Company achieved its highest ever Paper and Board sale of 8.19 Lac MT during F.Y. 2025-26 and maintained its leadership position across its product categories. The performance of the Company's packaging conversion business also improved during the year.

He further added, "The Composite Scheme of Arrangement, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, has been sanctioned by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench ("NCLT") vide its Order dated 3rd February 2026 ("Order") and has become effective from 15th March 2026. Consequent to the Scheme, The Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd, a Step-down Subsidiary of the Company, has become a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of JK Paper Ltd. and three of the packaging conversion companies have been amalgamated.

enable consistent supply of high-quality BCTMP pulp eliminating the need for import of costly imported Hardwood BCTMP pulp."
