DIC India Approves Dividend and Director Reappointments at 78th AGM

DIC India Limited's 78th Annual General Meeting (AGM), held on March 23, 2026, concluded with shareholders overwhelmingly approving all proposed resolutions. This strong backing signals confidence in the company's financial reporting and governance.

The meeting saw widespread shareholder support for the adoption of the company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. A final dividend of ₹3.00 per equity share for that financial year received exceptional backing, with nearly unanimous approval.

Key governance appointments were also confirmed. Mr. Hayato Kashiwagi was re-appointed as a director, and Mr. Adnan Wajhat Ahmad was re-appointed as an Independent Director. Shareholders also approved the appointment of Ms Chandra Wadhwa and Co. as the cost auditor for the upcoming financial year, 2026.

DIC India, a manufacturer of printing inks, polymers, and specialty chemicals, operates as part of the global DIC Corporation group. The dividend payout aligns with the company's established practice of returning profits to its shareholders. The AGM proceedings highlighted routine operational and governance continuity, with no specific risks identified in the company's filing related to the meeting itself.

In the printing inks and specialty chemicals sector, DIC India's key listed peer in India is Sakata Inx (India) Ltd.

Following the AGM's approvals, shareholders can now anticipate the disbursal of the ₹3.00 per equity share final dividend for FY2025.
