Atambhu Buildwell Private Limited has completed the acquisition of a 4.13% stake in Newtime Infrastructure following the conversion of its holding in 10% Convertible Cumulative Preference Shares (CCPS) into equity. The transaction, finalized on August 14, 2026, resulted in the allotment of 2,16,66,469 new equity shares to the acquirer, which is categorized as part of the promoter group.

The move increases Atambhu Buildwell’s total holding in the listed infrastructure firm to 4.13% of the total diluted share and voting capital. Prior to this specific acquisition event, the acquirer held no direct equity shares or voting rights in the target company. The conversion mechanism served as the sole mode for this capital infusion, expanding the company’s overall equity base.

Transaction Details

The regulatory filing submitted to BSE Limited under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, outlines the structural changes in the shareholding pattern. The total equity share capital of Newtime Infrastructure rose from 524,838,000 shares before the acquisition to 546,504,469 shares post-acquisition.

Gopal Arora, Director of Atambhu Buildwell, signed the disclosure documents on August 18, 2026. The filing confirms that there are no encumbrances, warrants, or other convertible securities held by the acquirer post-transaction. The total diluted share capital remains aligned with the total voting capital at 546,504,469 shares, indicating no further outstanding convertible instruments affecting this calculation at the time of filing.

Newtime Infrastructure reported a widened standalone net loss for the first quarter of FY27, reflecting declining revenues and margin pressure in its core operations.

The company posted a net loss after tax of ₹3.34 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of ₹2.51 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. This deterioration in profitability coincided with a contraction in top-line growth, as total income from operations fell to ₹4.89 crore from ₹6.04 crore recorded in Q1FY26, representing a decline of approximately 19%.

Financial Performance Overview

The decline in operating revenue was accompanied by a shift in the composition of total comprehensive income. While operating results weakened, other comprehensive income contributed positively to the overall financial position for the period.

Note: Figures are on a standalone basis. Previous year figures have been regrouped where necessary.

What the Numbers Show

A significant divergence exists between the company's operational performance and its comprehensive income statement. While Newtime Infrastructure incurred a standalone net loss of ₹3.34 crore from its primary business activities, it reported a positive other comprehensive income of ₹7.73 crore for the quarter.

This non-operating gain largely offset the operational deficit, resulting in a positive total comprehensive income of ₹4.39 crore for the period, down from ₹5.65 crore in the prior year. The data indicates that while core operations faced headwinds, gains recognized outside of profit and loss—likely related to fair value adjustments or reserve movements—provided a buffer to the overall equity position.

Dividend Declaration

Despite the operational losses, the Board of Directors approved an interim dividend of ₹0.01 per equity share. The face value of each share is ₹10. The dividend payout reflects the company's commitment to shareholder returns even during periods of operational transition.

Regulatory Disclosures

The unaudited consolidated financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee on August 14, 2026, and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on the same date. The statutory auditors have issued a limited review report with an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated financials, in compliance with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The company operates under the "Providing consultancy and advisory services" segment, which is considered reportable by management. As per SEBI guidelines, the company has adopted policies for fair valuation of assets and liabilities, with valuations conducted by independent registered valuers where applicable.
