Segment Results

The company operates across three primary segments: Engineering & Technologies, Special Steel, and Electric Vehicle. The Special Steel Division contributed the majority of segment revenue at Rs 2,465.65 crore for the year, though it reported a segment loss before finance costs and tax of Rs 10.44 crore. The Engineering & Technologies Division reported a segment profit of Rs 23.81 crore on revenue of Rs 1,208.94 crore.

Audit Qualifications

Hitesh Prakash Shah & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued a qualified opinion on the financial results. The auditors highlighted the non-provision of interest on non-performing asset (NPA) accounts. For the standalone results, interest amounting to Rs 149.61 crore for the year and Rs 39.20 crore for the quarter was not provided. In the consolidated results, the unprovided interest totalled Rs 194.99 crore for the year and Rs 50.93 crore for the quarter. The auditors stated that these omissions resulted in an overstatement of net profit and an understatement of liabilities and retained earnings.

Mukesh Bhandari, a promoter of electrotherm (India) Limited, has disclosed his intention to transfer a significant portion of his shareholding to a family member. The disclosure, submitted to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, confirms that no new encumbrances have been created on the shares during the financial year ended March 31, 2026, other than those previously disclosed.

The planned transfer involves 8,09,500 equity shares, which account for 6.35% of the company's total equity. This transaction stems from a Family Settlement Agreement (FSA) executed between the 'Mukesh Bhandari Family' and the 'Shailesh Bhandari Family' on March 29, 2025. As part of this agreement, Mukesh Bhandari will transfer the specified shares to Mr. Shailesh Bhandari once the terms and conditions of the FSA are fulfilled.

Details of the Transfer

The transfer will be executed through an off-market inter-se transfer mechanism. Additionally, Mukesh Bhandari has executed a voting agreement and other necessary documents in favor of Mr. Shailesh Bhandari pursuant to the FSA. The actual transfer of the 8,09,500 equity shares will be completed only after the shares are free from any attachment, freezing, or encumbrance.

Related Transactions

The Family Settlement Agreement also encompasses other share transfers within the family. Mrs. Jyoti Bhandari has executed a gift deed for the transfer of 2,01,525 equity shares of Electrotherm (India) Limited to Mrs. Reema Bhandari. The actual transfer of these shares is currently under process.

The promoter confirmed that he, along with persons acting in concert (PAC), has not made any encumbrance on the shares during the financial year ended March 31, 2026, beyond those already disclosed.
