EKC Clarifies Financial Results Submission Delay Due to UDIN Portal Glitch
Everest Kanto Cylinder Limited clarified a delay in submitting its Q3 FY26 financial results. The delay on February 12, 2026, was due to their auditors facing issues generating UDINs because of a scheduled maintenance of the UDIN portal. The company submitted the results with a single UDIN initially and later with both UDINs after the deadline.
The announcement is a clarification on a procedural delay and does not involve any new material financial information, strategic changes, or operational updates that would significantly impact the company's stock or business.
The announcement is a clarification regarding a technical issue in submitting financial results, and it does not contain any new financial information or performance updates. Therefore, the sentiment is neutral.
Everest Kanto Cylinder Limited (EKC) has provided a clarification to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited regarding a delay in submitting its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The company explained that on February 12, 2026, their auditors, Suresh Surana & Associates LLP, faced difficulties generating the UDIN (Unique Document Identification Number) due to a scheduled maintenance of the UDIN portal.
While the auditors managed to generate the UDIN for the standalone limited review report, they struggled with the consolidated financial results' UDIN. The Board Meeting concluded at 4:15 pm on February 12, 2026. According to LODR provisions, companies have three hours from the meeting's conclusion to upload financial results. EKC uploaded the results on the NEAPS portal at 6:56 pm with a single UDIN for the standalone report.
The auditors finally succeeded in generating the UDIN for the consolidated report at 8:39 pm, after the prescribed three-hour window had closed. To avoid further confusion, EKC decided not to re-upload the results as there were no other changes besides the UDIN. The company attributed the issue to a technical glitch and requested the exchange to close the observation.
