S H Kelkar Reports FY26 Profit of ₹73 Cr, Revenue at ₹2,368 Cr; Names New Auditors

S H Kelkar announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, reporting consolidated revenue of ₹2,368.26 crore and a consolidated profit after tax of ₹73.01 crore. These figures show growth from the prior year, with revenue increasing from ₹2,137.95 crore in FY25 and profit after tax rising from ₹54.81 crore in FY25.

While the consolidated performance was positive, the company's standalone operations recorded a net loss of ₹13.56 crore for FY26. This divergence between consolidated and standalone results indicates potential internal operational challenges or segment-specific pressures that investors will monitor.

In a significant corporate update, the Board of Directors has appointed BSR & Co. LLP as the company's new statutory auditors for a five-year term, effective after the 70th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 31, 2026. BSR & Co. LLP will succeed Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP, which provided an unmodified opinion on the FY26 financial statements. The company also appointed new internal and cost auditors for FY 2026-27.

S H Kelkar and Company Limited is a key manufacturer of fragrances and flavours within India's FMCG supply chain.

For industry context, companies like Galaxy Surfactants and Privi Speciality Chemicals operate in related specialty chemical and FMCG ingredient sectors. Their performance metrics and growth trajectories offer a broader view of the industry landscape for S H Kelkar.

Investors will be closely watching management commentary and key resolutions at the upcoming 70th AGM on July 31, 2026. Future focus will also be on initial reports from the new auditors, BSR & Co. LLP, and any strategic initiatives discussed by management, particularly regarding the standalone business performance.
