The Board approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and full year ended March 31, 2026. Standalone revenue from operations was Rs 3,618.08 Cr for FY2026, marginally lower than Rs 3,724.94 Cr in the previous year. Profit After Tax (PAT) declined significantly to Rs 237.81 Cr from Rs 365.50 Cr in the prior year, a drop of about 35%, primarily due to lower sugar segment performance and increased costs. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 1.50 per equity share (75% on face value of Rs 2) for shareholder approval. Additionally, the re-appointment of Gautam Dalmia as Managing Director (effective January 16, 2027 for 5 years) and appointment of Rangaprasad S. as Unit Head, Nigohi Unit were approved. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements.
The 35% decline in annual PAT is concerning for shareholders, though the clean audit opinion and consistent dividend provide some comfort. Short-term borrowings nearly doubled to Rs 1,280 Cr, which may raise questions about liquidity management. The stock may face pressure near-term due to profit decline, but continuity in leadership is positive.
