National Standard (India) Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, to the Bombay Stock Exchange. The filing, made under Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, discloses that the company’s operations are entirely dependent on its holding company, Lodha Developers Limited, with 100% of its turnover arising from related-party transactions.

The company reported a total turnover of ₹2,041.81 lakhs for FY26, with a net worth of ₹28,199.54 lakhs. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) provisions under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 were applicable to the entity during the period. The report forms an integral part of the company’s 63rd Annual Report.

Operational Structure

National Standard operates as a trading entity focused on the sale of building materials, contributing 100% to its turnover in the construction sector. The company maintains a single office location in Mumbai and has no plants or international operations.

A defining characteristic of the company’s structure is its lack of direct employment. Key Managerial Personnel are on deputation from Lodha Developers Limited. Consequently, disclosures regarding employee welfare, training, safety incidents, and grievance mechanisms for workers are marked as not applicable. The Board of Directors comprises six members, including one woman director, representing 16.67% female representation.

Financial and Governance Highlights

The filing provides specific metrics on financial conduct and governance practices for FY26 compared to the previous year.

The company recorded a reduction in days of accounts payable from 9 days in FY25 to 4 days in FY26. There were no fines, penalties, or disciplinary actions taken against directors or key managerial personnel for bribery or corruption. One shareholder complaint was filed and resolved during FY26, with no pending cases at year-end.

What the Numbers Show

The most significant operational shift disclosed in the report is the complete concentration of revenue within the group structure. While only 40% of sales were to related parties in FY25, this figure rose to 100% in FY26. This indicates that National Standard now functions exclusively as an internal trading arm for its holding company, eliminating external customer exposure. This structural dependency is reinforced by the absence of independent employees and the reliance on deputed staff from Lodha Developers Limited for all management functions.
