KAMA Holdings Limited reported a 24.6% year-on-year increase in standalone net profit to ₹13,135.77 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), compared to ₹10,540.61 lakh in FY25. The growth was primarily driven by a rise in dividend and other income, which surged 23.5% to ₹13,527.08 lakh from ₹10,953.58 lakh in the prior year. As a core investment company holding significant stakes in subsidiaries like SRF Limited, KAMA’s profitability remains closely tied to the dividend payouts from its investee companies.

The Board of Directors did not recommend a final dividend for FY26. However, shareholders received two interim dividends during the year: ₹18.25 per share paid in September 2025 and ₹23.20 per share paid in April 2026, aggregating to ₹13,301.54 lakh. The company’s total revenue from operations stood at ₹13,527.08 lakh, while total expenses remained low at ₹371.01 lakh. Profit before tax increased to ₹13,178.20 lakh from ₹10,544.67 lakh in FY25.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s financial results for FY26 reflect steady growth in investment income with minimal operational overheads. Key financial metrics are detailed below:

An exceptional item of ₹17.36 lakh was recognized in FY26 due to the one-time impact of new labor codes, as per Ind AS 19 requirements regarding changes in employee benefit plans. This amount was presented under exceptional items in the statement of profit and loss.

Subsidiary Performance and Outlook

KAMA Holdings operates primarily through its subsidiaries, with SRF Limited being the most significant.

Other subsidiaries include Shri Educare Limited, which expanded its portfolio by adding six schools in FY26, and SRF Transnational Holdings Limited, a non-deposit taking NBFC.

Shri Educare Limited reported a revenue of ₹3,699.13 lakh and a profit after tax of ₹760.56 lakh for FY26. Meanwhile, SRF Transnational Holdings Limited incurred a loss of ₹182.62 lakh, reversing a profit of ₹189.54 lakh in the previous year.
