Ahluwalia Contracts (India) Limited has set September 22, 2026 as the record date for shareholders eligible to receive the company’s final dividend. The Board of Directors approved the corporate action during its meeting held on August 14, 2026.

The company will also convene its 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM). To determine eligibility for both the dividend payout and the AGM, Ahluwalia Contracts will enforce a book closure period from Wednesday, September 23, 2026 to Tuesday, September 29, 2026, inclusive of both days.

Key Dates

The intimation was issued pursuant to Regulation 42 and Regulation 43 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The disclosure applies to equity shares listed on the BSE, NSE, and Calcutta Stock Exchange.

Vipin Kumar Tiwari, Company Secretary, signed the communication on behalf of the board. The registered office of the company is located in Okhla Industrial Area, New Delhi.

Ahluwalia Contracts (India) Limited reported a sharp contraction in profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, despite double-digit growth in top-line revenue. The engineering and construction firm’s standalone net profit after tax fell 78% year-on-year to ₹114.2 lakh, down from ₹511.1 lakh in Q1FY26.

Standalone revenue from operations expanded 12% to ₹11,258.1 lakh, up from ₹10,048.8 lakh in the corresponding quarter of FY26. This marks a sequential decline from the full-year FY26 average, where total income stood at ₹45,652.0 lakh.

Consolidated figures mirrored the standalone trend, with net profit after tax dropping to ₹103.9 lakh from ₹511.1 lakh in the prior year period. Consolidated revenue remained flat at ₹11,258.1 lakh against the standalone figure, indicating no significant subsidiary contribution variance in this reporting cycle.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and profit collapse highlights severe margin compression. While operational income grew by over ₹1,200 lakh, pre-tax profit declined by ₹541 lakh. This suggests that cost of goods sold or operating expenses rose disproportionately to revenue, eroding the bottom line significantly despite higher sales volume. Basic earnings per share fell to ₹1.70 from ₹7.63, reflecting the direct impact on shareholder value.

The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors in their meeting held on August 14, 2026. Bikramjit Ahluwalia, Chairman & Managing Director, signed off on the unaudited financial statements.
