HMT Limited has informed the exchanges that it is unable to submit the audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026, by the stipulated deadline of May 30, 2026. The disclosure was made in compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

The company stated that the delay is due to the ongoing consolidation of accounts and audit activities across its various units located throughout India. As these processes are currently in progress, the finalization of the figures could not be completed in time for the scheduled submission date.

Reason for Delay

The primary reason cited for the inability to meet the regulatory timeline is the geographical spread of the company's operations. With units across the country, the consolidation and audit procedures require more time than initially anticipated to ensure accuracy.

Next Steps

Despite the current setback, HMT Limited has assured the exchanges that it is making concerted efforts to finalize the accounts. The company intends to submit the standalone and consolidated financial results at the earliest possible opportunity.
