Management Commentary
The management attributed the decline in profitability to two specific one-off factors: provisioning made on account of bad debts, and financing charges (CGTMSE fee) for both FY 24-25 and FY 25-26 being booked in FY 25-26. The company's foray into geophysical studies through its subsidiary DM Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd. has shown good progress, with the subsidiary registering revenues of ₹282.01 lakhs and profit after tax of ₹70.75 lakhs during FY25-26. Management noted that DMR Engineering has made considerable progress in focusing on high-quality assignments and clients in the geographies of Bhutan and South East Asia, which is expected to improve business margins and focus on high-impact assignments. The company has also selectively pursued EPC opportunities in India, leveraging its deep experience in engineering and construction management, and continues to invest in hiring and retaining high-quality engineering talent.
Dividend Recommendation
The board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.14 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming 17th Annual General Meeting. Upon such approval, the dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of approval.
