NCC Limited shareholders will vote on the reappointment of promoter A V N Raju as Whole-time Director for five years and approve a significant remuneration revision for Smt. Kausalya Bhupathi Raju, Director (Commercial), at the 36th Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 27, 2026. The governance updates accompany the company’s FY 2025-26 integrated annual report, which recorded a consolidated order book growth of 16% to ₹83,004 crore despite a 6% decline in revenue.
The Board of Directors, meeting on May 15, 2026, recommended these resolutions under the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI Listing Regulations. A V N Raju, who heads the Electrical & Irrigation Division, will continue his role with effect from May 30, 2026, overseeing strategic projects including BharatNet and smart meter installations. His remuneration structure allows for a basic salary between ₹4.00 lakhs and ₹10.00 lakhs per month, plus perquisites up to 75% of salary and commission up to 0.5% of net profits.
Key Governance Resolutions
Shareholders are also asked to ratify the appointment and pay hike of Smt. Kausalya Bhupathi Raju, who is related to the promoter directors as their sister. Her basic salary will increase from ₹1.06 lakhs to ₹4.00 lakhs per month, effective September 1, 2026, with potential revisions up to ₹10.00 lakhs per month based on performance. The Board deemed this an arm’s length transaction but sought shareholder approval for transparency.

FY26 Financial Context
The governance changes occur against a backdrop of moderated financial performance in FY 2025-26. Consolidated revenue fell 6% to ₹20,823.00 crore from ₹22,199.36 crore in the prior year, driven by delayed realizations and project execution phasing. However, the company improved its consolidated EBITDA margin by 18 basis points to 8.82%, reflecting cost discipline.

| EBITDA Margin: | 8.82% | 8.64% | +18 bps |
| Net Profit: | ₹675.32 crore | ₹819.88 crore | Declined |
| Order Book: | ₹83,004 crore | ₹71,568 crore | +16% |
The order book composition remains diversified, with Buildings contributing 27%, Transportation 20%, Mining 17%, and Electrical 17%. The construction segment accounted for ₹17,463 crore (78%) of total revenue, while Coal Mining contributed ₹2,710 crore (13%).
