Artefact Projects has scheduled its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Thursday, September 24, 2026. The meeting will convene at 11:30 am at the company’s registered office in Nagpur to adopt the audited financial statements for FY26.

Financial Performance

Artefact Projects reported total income of ₹3,614.04 lakh for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, an increase from ₹3,392.26 lakh in FY25. Despite the revenue growth, Profit After Tax (PAT) declined to ₹522.61 lakh from ₹743.03 lakh in the previous year. Earnings Per Share (EPS) stood at ₹7.29.

The decline in profitability was driven by upfront mobilization costs for 13 new projects and a non-recurring write-off of Work-in-Progress (WIP) bills pending approval for over 18 months. Operating and administrative expenses rose significantly due to site mobilization and strategic salary revisions aligned with the New Labour Code.

Order Book and Outlook

The company maintains a substantial order book of approximately ₹338 crore, with ₹214 crore undertaken as Lead Consultant. Management highlighted steady project execution cycles and diversification into railway sectors and urban infrastructure. The Board did not recommend a dividend for FY26 to meet working capital needs.

Meeting Agenda

Shareholders will consider the adoption of the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The ordinary business also includes the reappointment of Mrs. Ankita Shah as a director. She retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election.

Mrs. Shah serves as a non-executive director with expertise in architectural design and infrastructure project management. She holds no equity shares in the company and drew no remuneration in the preceding period.
