central mine p & d institute has scheduled its 51st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Monday, August 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM IST via video conferencing. The primary agenda includes the approval of a final dividend of ₹1.06 per equity share, bringing the total dividend payout for FY26 to ₹4.21 per share when combined with three interim dividends of ₹1.05 each already paid during the year. This payout reflects the company’s continued profitability, having reported a profit after tax of ₹613.18 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

The AGM will also address significant board composition changes required under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations. Shareholders will vote on the appointment of Anand Shekhar Singh and Rajesh Davera as Non-Official Independent Directors for a term of three years commencing from July 15, 2026. Additionally, the meeting will seek approval for the re-appointment of Ajay Kumar as Director (Technical) by rotation and the appointment of Anand Mohan as Director (Technical) with effect from May 11, 2026.

Key Resolutions and Financial Highlights

The Board of Directors recommended the final dividend based on the audited financial statements for FY26. The company’s net sales grew to ₹2,316.53 crore from ₹2,102.76 crore in FY25, driven by increased exploration activities and diversified consultancy services. The following table outlines the key financial metrics and dividend details:

The record date for determining eligibility for the final dividend is set for Monday, August 10, 2026. Payment will be made within 30 days of declaration to members whose names appear in the register of members or depository records on this date.

Board Appointments and Auditor Ratification

The special business items include the appointment of M/s Mahata Agarwal & Associates as Secretarial Auditors for five consecutive financial years from FY26 to FY30. The company also seeks shareholder approval to fix the remuneration of M/s Deoki Bijay & Co., Chartered Accountants, who were appointed as Statutory Auditors by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India under Section 139(5) of the Companies Act, 2013.

The appointment of new independent directors aims to comply with regulatory requirements for board composition. Anand Shekhar Singh brings expertise in education, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and corporate governance, while Rajesh Davera offers nearly four decades of experience in taxation, finance, and corporate advisory. Both directors have submitted declarations confirming their independence as per Section 149(6) of the Companies Act, 2013.

What the Numbers Show

While revenue growth remained robust at over 10%, the decline in profit after tax highlights margin pressure. Operating profit margins contracted from 38.40% in FY25 to 32.06% in FY26, primarily due to a ₹90 crore provision for pay upgradation of junior and mid-level executives. Despite this one-time impact, the company maintained a strong dividend yield, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder returns amidst rising operational costs.

Central Mine Planning & Design Institute will host a one-to-one meeting with Stallion AMC on July 27, 2026, to discuss operational matters. The meeting is scheduled for 3:30 PM IST and will be conducted via video conferencing from the company's headquarters at Gondwana Place, Kanke Road, Ranchi, Jharkhand. The company confirmed that no unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI) will be disseminated during the session.

The interaction will involve the Chairman-cum-Managing Director and/or Functional Director(s) of the company. This disclosure was made to the stock exchanges in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
