The Board of Dhunseri Tea & Industries, at its May 22, 2025 meeting, approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, along with an unmodified audit opinion from S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP. A final dividend of Re. 1 per share (10% on face value of Rs. 10) has been recommended, subject to shareholder approval at the 28th AGM on August 8, 2025. Standalone revenue rose ~10% YoY to Rs. 32,702.53 lakhs, but the company still reported a standalone loss after tax of Rs. 434.07 lakhs, narrower than the prior year on an underlying basis. Exceptional items of Rs. 2,728.82 lakhs (profits from sale of Dilli Tea Estate assets and Jaipur Packet Factory leased assets) boosted the numbers. On a consolidated basis, the loss widened to Rs. 29,004.64 lakhs, partly impacted by hyperinflation accounting for Malawi subsidiaries under Ind AS 29. Several leadership changes were also announced, including Ms. Bharati Dhanuka's redesignation as Managing Director (Vice Chairman) and the appointment of a new Company Secretary.
The final dividend is modest (1% yield indication at recent prices) and signals steady but not generous returns to shareholders. The continued losses on both standalone and consolidated levels, even after asset sale gains, point to underlying pressure in the tea business. Investors should watch the consolidated results closely given the wider loss and hyperinflation impact from Malawi operations.
