Affordable Robotic & Automation shareholders have approved a special resolution to issue fully convertible warrants (FCWs) to promoters on a preferential basis. The warrants, valued at up to ₹21 crore, will be issued upon the conversion of existing loans.

The postal ballot process concluded on August 19, 2026. Scrutinizer CS Deepti Maheshwari confirmed that all three resolutions presented for voting were passed. The voting results were filed with BSE and NSE on August 21, 2026.

Voting Results Breakdown

The special resolution regarding the FCW issuance required a supermajority vote. Promoter shareholders held 4,708,000 shares and cast 4,705,800 votes in favor, representing 99.95% participation within their category. Public non-institutional shareholders polled 2,112,192 votes, with 99.99% supporting the measure.

The two ordinary resolutions concerned material related-party transactions (RPTs) for the financial year 2026-27 under Regulation 23 of SEBI LODR norms. One resolution covered transactions with subsidiary ARAPL Raas Private Limited, while the other addressed transactions with the promoter group. Both received overwhelming support from public non-institutional voters, who accounted for all votes cast on these items as promoters abstained due to conflict of interest.

Revised Shareholding Pattern

Following the approval, Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited filed a revised post-preferential issue shareholding pattern on a fully diluted basis on August 25, 2026. This revision was made in compliance with observations from the National Stock Exchange of India Limited dated August 21, 2026. The pattern reflects the allotment of 10,93,750 warrants to promoter Milind Padole, assuming full conversion over 18 months and exercise of 8,726 outstanding ESOPs.

The fully diluted post-issue total share capital stands at 1,29,53,581 equity shares. Promoter shareholding is projected to increase from 41.41% to 46.33% post-conversion. Specifically, Milind Padole’s holding is expected to rise from 27.74% (32,87,075 shares) to 33.82% (43,80,825 shares).

What the Numbers Show

The voting pattern reveals a distinct bifurcation in shareholder engagement based on resolution type. While promoter participation was near-total (99.95%) for the capital-raising special resolution, it was zero for the related-party transaction ordinary resolutions, consistent with regulatory abstention requirements. Conversely, public institutional investors did not participate in any of the three resolutions, leaving retail and non-institutional public shareholders as the sole deciding voice for the RPT approvals. The negligible dissent—only 48 votes against the FCW issuance out of nearly 7 million polled—indicates minimal resistance to the proposed equity dilution structure.

Affordable Robotic & Automation reported a modest growth in its standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26). The company recorded total revenue from operations of ₹4.50 crore, an increase of 11.2% compared to ₹4.05 crore in the same quarter of FY25. This top-line expansion was accompanied by a rise in net profit, which stood at ₹0.55 crore, up 10.5% year-on-year from ₹0.50 crore.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results during its meeting held on August 13, 2026. The company has published the results in The Financial Express (English) and Loksatta (Marathi), as required under Regulations 30, 33, and 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Financial Highlights

What the Numbers Show

The data indicates a slight improvement in cost management relative to revenue growth. While revenue increased by 11.2%, total expenditure grew at a marginally slower pace of 10.9%. This divergence contributed to a 13.2% rise in profit before tax, outpacing the revenue growth rate. The net profit margin expanded slightly, reflecting effective control over operational costs during the period.

Corporate Actions

The company did not declare any dividend for the quarter. There were no significant related-party transactions or material changes in accounting policies disclosed in the filing. The financial statements were reviewed by the statutory auditors, M/s. S.K. Shah & Co., Chartered Accountants, who issued an unqualified audit report.
