Astral Limited announced its audited financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025, with a clean (unmodified) opinion from statutory auditor SRBC & Co LLP. On a standalone basis, revenue from operations grew about 3.8% year-on-year to Rs. 5,296 crore, while net profit rose roughly 2.9% to Rs. 566 crore and EPS stood at Rs. 21.08 (vs Rs. 20.49). On a consolidated basis, revenue grew about 3.4% to Rs. 5,832 crore, but net profit declined roughly 4.9% to Rs. 519 crore (EPS Rs. 19.50 vs Rs. 20.33), pulled down by weaker profitability in the Paints and Adhesives segment. The Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 2.25 per equity share of Re. 1 face value, subject to shareholder approval, and also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Girish Joshi as Whole Time Director and the appointment of a new Secretarial Auditor for FY26–FY30. Post year-end, the company acquired 100% of Al-Aziz Plastics Private Limited for Rs. 33 crore, expanding its fittings and irrigation product portfolio.
The results are mixed for shareholders: steady single-digit growth on a standalone basis and a clean audit opinion are positive, but a consolidated profit dip and weaker paints segment margins may cap near-term enthusiasm. The Rs. 2.25 dividend maintains consistent shareholder returns, and the small Al-Aziz acquisition is a modest inorganic growth step in fittings/irrigation.
