HMT Limited published its standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), in Financial Express, Hosadigantha, and Rajasthan Patrika on July 29, 2026. The results were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 27, 2026. This publication ensures wider accessibility of the financial data to stakeholders across different linguistic regions, complementing the digital availability of the reports.

The disclosure was made in accordance with Regulation 33 read with Regulation 47(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company hosted the detailed results along with the Audit Report on its website, providing a Quick Response (QR) code for easy access. N. Ramesh Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director (Addl.

Financial Context

While this update focuses on the dissemination mechanism, the underlying financial results reflect a challenging period for the company. As previously reported, HMT Limited recorded a standalone net loss of ₹16.75 crore for FY26, compared to ₹16.10 crore in FY25. The consolidated net loss widened to ₹131.54 crore from ₹143.06 crore in the prior year. Statutory auditors GRSM & Associates issued a qualified opinion, citing issues in inventory valuation and GST reconciliation.

What the Numbers Show

The multi-language publication strategy highlights the company’s effort to ensure transparency despite operational headwinds. By distributing results in English, Kannada, and Hindi, HMT Limited aims to reach retail investors in key markets like Karnataka and Rajasthan. However, the qualified audit opinion remains a critical concern for investors, as it signals potential risks in asset valuation and compliance that could impact future financial stability.

HMT Ltd has been fined ₹1,71,100 each by BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for failing to submit financial results on time. The penalties were imposed for non-compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, regarding the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The fine amount is inclusive of GST and will increase daily until compliance is achieved.

The company attributed the delay to the complexity of consolidating accounts and auditing various units located across India. HMT Ltd stated that its subsidiaries operate units throughout the country, and the audit process is at an advanced stage of completion. Consequently, the company was unable to submit the audited financial results, both standalone and consolidated, for the period ended March 31, 2026, by the deadline of May 30, 2026.

In response to the notices, HMT Ltd indicated that it is working to submit the financial results at the earliest. The company further informed the exchanges that, in accordance with the provisions of the SOP Circular issued by the stock exchanges, it is in the process of applying for a waiver of the imposed fines. This waiver application will be pursued once the company achieves compliance with the regulations.
