Interarch Building Solutions has fixed September 3, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholders eligible to receive the final dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This action ensures that equity holders registered in the company’s books on this date will be entitled to the payout, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The fixation of the record date is a standard procedural step that locks in the list of eligible investors before the dividend distribution process begins.

The Board of Directors has convened the 43rd Annual General Meeting for Thursday, September 10, 2026. In compliance with circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the meeting will be held through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). Shareholders who are not able to attend the meeting physically can exercise their voting rights through remote e-voting.

The remote e-voting period commences on Monday, September 7, 2026, at 09:00 AM IST and concludes on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 05:00 PM IST. This window allows shareholders to cast their votes on the resolutions contained in the notice convening the AGM, including the approval of the final dividend.

The company, formerly known as Interarch Building Products Limited, issued this communication on August 6, 2026. The notice was signed by Arvind Nanda, Managing Director, bearing DIN 00149426. The head office remains located at B-30, Sector 57, Noida - 201301, India.

What This Means for Investors

For shareholders, the critical deadline is the record date of September 3, 2026. Investors must ensure their shares are registered under their name in the company’s register or with the depository participant by this date to qualify for the dividend. Any share transfers initiated after this date will not entitle the new buyer to the current dividend payout. The actual disbursement of funds will follow the AGM approval and subsequent regulatory filings.

Interarch Building Solutions has approved a joint venture with ER Steel Inc., Canada, to jointly explore and develop the Open Web Steel Joists (OWSJ) business for the North American market. The Board of Directors approved the agreement on August 6, 2026, aiming to capture 2 to 5% of the market share in the next three years. This strategic move opens a new revenue stream by combining Interarch’s engineering and manufacturing strengths with ER Steel’s established presence in the USA and Canadian markets.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30(6) read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and SEBI Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The company confirmed that the transaction does not fall within related party transactions and that no promoter or group company has an interest in the entity being acquired.

Joint Venture Structure

The proposed collaboration establishes a structured framework for evaluating the design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply of OWSJ products through a scalable platform in India. Interarch will lead engineering, detailing, manufacturing, and quality compliance activities from India. ER Steel will primarily support market development, customer relationships, and sales and marketing activities in Canada and the USA.

Funding and Commitments

The total initial investment planned is ₹80 crore. An amount equal to 25% of the Initial Cost shall be contributed at the Initial Closing via incorporation capital by Interarch and remittance of initial contribution by shareholders. The balance 75%, amounting to ₹60 crore, will be contributed in three equal tranches of ₹20 crore each. Interarch and ER Steel will contribute committed capital in the agreed shareholding ratio of 76:24.

ER Steel must enter into an Offtake Agreement with the Joint Venture Company (JVCo) to purchase a minimum quantity of OWSJ products for distribution and sale in Canada and the USA. This serves as a major commercial assurance for the JV. Interarch will incorporate the JVCo in India, and the JVCo will execute a Deed of Adherence to be bound by the JV terms once incorporated.

Strategic Rationale

The partnership leverages ER Steel’s presence in the target markets to open new opportunities for Interarch. Management stated that Interarch’s strength in engineering and manufacturing combined with ER Steel’s knowledge and presence creates a strong basis for success. Depending on the growth of the business, the company retains the option to expand further beyond the initial investment.
