Benares Hotels Limited has submitted its 55th Annual Report for FY 2025-26 along with the notice for its AGM scheduled on July 23, 2026 via video conferencing. Gross revenue rose modestly to Rs. 14,490.33 lakhs from Rs. 14,066.82 lakhs, a growth of about 3%. Profit after tax was nearly flat at Rs. 4,323.89 lakhs versus Rs. 4,324.95 lakhs, with EPS also flat at Rs. 332.61. The company remains debt-free with zero borrowings, and net worth grew to Rs. 21,262.98 lakhs. The board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 25 per share (250% on face value of Rs. 10), with the record date set as July 16, 2026 and payment from August 3, 2026. The AGM also includes resolutions to appoint Mr. Rajendra Misra as a Non-Executive Director and Mr. Anupam Chaturvedi as an Independent Director.
Shareholders can expect a healthy dividend of Rs. 25 per share, but flat profit growth despite revenue rise suggests margin pressure of around 120 basis points. The zero-debt balance sheet and growing net worth signal strong financial stability, though near-term earnings momentum appears limited.
