The full read
Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills' board has signed off on FY26 audited results, which show modest profit growth.

On the corporate side, it redeemed ₹2 crore in non-cumulative preference shares and extended the timeline for the rest. The results were anticipated, as the earlier board meeting notice had already flagged the dividend omission and the preference-share move. This filing adds the final numbers and makes the actions official.
