CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS FOR AGM 2026
Dear Shareholders,
A very good morning to all our shareholders and a warm welcome to the 46th Annual
General Meeting of Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited.

input costs. Despite the challenges, these results achieved reflect the strength of your
Company's diversified business portfolio, disciplined execution and the continued trust
of customers across Mining Chemicals, Crop Nutrition and Industrial Chemicals.

2] aligning our busines
