Steelcast board declared a first interim dividend of Rs 0.45 per share for FY 2026-27, record date 7 August 2026, payment by 28 August. Q1 standalone profit after tax rose 19 percent to Rs 23.71 crores versus Rs 19.88 crores, on total income up 17 percent at Rs 128.06 crores. Board also approved a greenfield foundry adding 8,500 tons capacity at Rs 120 crores via internal accruals, to be completed by March 2028.
Strong Q1 earnings with profit up 19 percent, interim dividend reflects cash generation, and Rs 120 crore capacity expansion signals growth confidence.
