VST Industries Ltd has announced the closure of its trading window for dealing in the company's securities. This closure is in accordance with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. The window will be shut from October 1st, 2026, until 48 hours after the announcement of the unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30th, 2026.

VST Industries reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net revenue declined by 13.5% to ₹256 crore from ₹296 crore in the same period last year. Profit After Tax (PAT) saw a significant drop of 24.4%, falling to ₹42.4 crore from ₹56.1 crore. This underperformance is attributed to an extraordinary tax increase, with the incidence of tax on cigarettes rising by approximately 50% due to changes in Compensation Cess, GST, and Excise Duty. Cigarette volumes also decreased by 14.4% QoQ. The company plans a measured pricing approach and is focused on recovering volumes through brand strengthening and disciplined execution, while facing challenges from illicit trade and geopolitical instability affecting its unmanufactured tobacco business.

The company operates in a single segment, tobacco and related products, and does not have subsidiaries, thus preparing only standalone financial statements. Figures for the current quarter are noted as not directly comparable with other periods due to recent indirect tax amendments affecting excise duty and gross sales calculations.
