Governance and Leadership Changes
The Board convened the 39th Annual General Meeting for September 18, 2026, through Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means. September 11, 2026 is both the cut-off date for determining members eligible to vote and the record date for members eligible to receive dividend, if approved at the meeting. The filing does not state a dividend amount.
The Board approved the re-appointment of Dinesh Alla as Chairman and Managing Director for five years from August 21, 2026 to August 20, 2031, on the Nomination & Remuneration Committee's recommendation. His remuneration was approved for three years, from August 21, 2026 to August 20, 2029, with the Audit Committee's approval and recommendation. Both are subject to member approval at the AGM. Dinesh Alla is the spouse of Savita Alla, Joint Managing Director, and the father of Sashank Alla, Whole-time Director.
The Board also approved remuneration for Sashank Alla for the remaining two years of his tenure, effective September 29, 2026, subject to member approval.
What the Numbers Show
On a standalone basis, revenue rose while total expenses fell. Geophysical survey and related expenses declined to ₹2,588.35 lakh from ₹3,368.31 lakh, even as employee benefits expense rose to ₹570.23 lakh from ₹344.09 lakh and other expenses rose to ₹588.49 lakh from ₹112.22 lakh.
The consolidated picture differs. Group expenses rose to ₹6,553.23 lakh from ₹4,284.19 lakh alongside revenue of ₹8,212.94 lakh. The auditors' report shows one subsidiary, reviewed by other auditors, contributed total income of ₹3,126.47 lakh and net profit of ₹199.73 lakh.
Set against FY26, the quarter's standalone profit of ₹1,273.67 lakh compares with a full-year standalone loss of ₹1,429.49 lakh.
Regulatory Disclosures
Both auditors' reports draw attention to two contingent matters, with no provision recognised in either:
- Tax demand: an FY22 Income Tax demand of ₹601.53 lakh over excess depreciation on imported machinery, plus a separate FY25 demand of ₹1,644.78 lakh on the Managing Director in his personal capacity. The company has indemnified the latter and recorded it as a non-current income tax asset. The aggregate exposure of ₹2,246.31 lakh is disclosed as a contingent liability.
- FEMA proceedings: fixed deposits of ₹1,601.08 lakh have remained seized or frozen since FY23 under actions by the Directorate of Enforcement. The company received a show cause notice dated January 29, 2026 from the adjudicating authority, and the matter is under adjudication. Management believes it has a strong case on merits.
The auditors' opinion is not modified in respect of either matter. The consolidated report also notes that a foreign subsidiary's results, with total income of ₹24.93 lakh and profit of ₹12.45 lakh, were not reviewed by its auditor. Management told the auditors these figures are not material to the Group.
