Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Limited has announced a significant outcome from its Board Meeting held on 18th April 2026. The company has approved the allotment of 7% Non-Convertible, Non-Cumulative, Non-Participating, Redeemable Preference Shares (NCRPS). This issuance consists of 4,95,000 shares with a face value of ₹1,000 each, totaling an aggregate consideration of ₹49.5 Crores. The allotment was made on a preferential basis via private placement to R. V. Investment and Dealers Limited, a Promoter Group Entity.

The capital infusion is designed to strengthen the company’s financial structure, with the application money already received from the sole investor. This meeting, which took place at the company’s registered office in Kolkata, commenced at 12:30 p.m. and concluded by 12:50 p.m.. The move follows a prior notification dated 13th April 2026, marking a swift execution of the preferential allotment strategy.

Established in 1960, Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Limited (KCI) is a prominent Indian manufacturer of chemical intermediates and specialty products, including Formaldehyde, Hexamine, and Phenolic Resins. In 2025, the company focused heavily on its “Vision-2030” strategy, commissioning a massive 345 MTPD Formaldehyde expansion and an 18 MTPD Hexamine expansion at its Ankleshwar facility in Gujarat. These expansions utilize advanced Metal Oxide technology to improve yield and energy efficiency, targeting high-growth sectors like agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and engineering wood. Additionally, in early 2025, the company sought to optimize its portfolio by divesting its equity stake in its Swiss subsidiary, APAG Holding AG.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (Q3 FY26), the company reported a consolidated revenue of ₹268.21 Crores, representing a 20.7% growth over the previous quarter. However, this was a 23% decline compared to the same period in 2024. The net profit for the quarter stood at ₹3.55 Crores, showing a dramatic turnaround from the ₹28.63 Crores loss recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The promoter group continues to hold a dominant stake of 74.4% as of late 2025. While the company lacks high-profile celebrity individual investors, it remains firmly under the leadership of the Kanoria family, with R.V. Kanoria at the helm and Saumya Vardhan Kanoria re-appointed as Whole-time Director effective April 1, 2025.
