The Board approved audited financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025 with a clean (unmodified) opinion from statutory auditors S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP. FY25 revenue from operations grew about 10% year-on-year to Rs 3,093.68 crore, while full-year profit after tax rose roughly 11% to Rs 83.21 crore. Q4 FY25 was notably strong, with PAT at Rs 31.26 crore versus Rs 12.80 crore in Q4 FY24, supported partly by an exceptional gain of Rs 18.68 crore from the sale of land in Hyderabad. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 0.75 (75%) per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs 1.50 (150%) per share, subject to shareholder approval. The company also received new GST/Central Excise demand orders of Rs 58.50 crore across three states and Haryana entry tax show-cause notices of Rs 33.75 crore, against which no provision has been made as management believes it has a strong legal case. Additionally, LABH & LABH Associates were appointed as Secretarial Auditor for five years, Ms. Dipti Mishra resigned as Compliance Officer, and Ms. Diksha Singh was appointed as Company Secretary & Compliance Officer.
Steady double-digit growth in revenue and profit, a healthy 150% total dividend payout, and a clean audit are positives for shareholders. However, fresh tax demands and notices totalling over Rs 92 crore (no provision made) are a key watch item as an adverse ruling could materially impact future earnings.
