Hindustan Copper Limited reported strong FY 2025-26 results with standalone profit after tax of Rs. 920.67 crore, nearly doubling from Rs. 468.53 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations grew to Rs. 1,515.78 crore from Rs. 1,421.20 crore. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1.86 per share (face value Rs. 5) in addition to the interim dividend of Rs. 1.00 already paid in March 2026. The company also sought shareholder approval to raise funds via NCDs/bonds up to Rs. 500 crore and QIP issuance of up to 9.7 crore equity shares for capex/expansion plans. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion but highlighted emphasis of matters including pending land deeds, arbitration disputes, and tax demands. The company also faces non-compliance with Companies Act regarding independent directors and woman director positions.
The nearly 97% PAT growth is highly positive for shareholders and reflects strong operational performance. However, the fund-raising plans (QIP and NCDs) may dilute equity and increase debt levels. The ongoing legal disputes and governance non-compliance (lack of independent directors) could raise concerns for institutional investors.
