The appointments require final ratification by the company's members at the upcoming general meeting. This governance update ensures continuity in executive management and independent oversight for the capital goods manufacturer.

• Satish Chander Sharma: Reappointed as Independent Director for a five-year term from June 30, 2027, to June 29, 2032.

Joining the company in 1994 as an Executive Director, he currently oversees marketing, sales, technical operations, finance, and administrative affairs.

Samrat Forgings reported a net profit of ₹1.24 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), an increase of 18% compared to ₹1.05 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Revenue from operations for the quarter was ₹4.85 crore, reflecting a 4.5% decline from ₹5.08 crore in Q1FY26.

The company’s profit before tax and exceptional items rose to ₹1.70 crore in Q1FY27, up from ₹1.40 crore in the corresponding quarter of FY26. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) were reported at ₹2.47, higher than the ₹2.09 recorded in Q1FY26.

Financial Performance

On a sequential basis, revenue declined 5.9% from ₹5.15 crore in the preceding quarter (Q4FY26). However, profitability improved, with pre-tax profit rising to ₹1.70 crore from ₹1.46 crore in Q4FY26.

What the Numbers Show

Despite a contraction in top-line revenue, Samrat Forgings managed to expand its pre-tax margins. The profit before tax as a percentage of revenue improved to approximately 3.5% in Q1FY27, compared to 2.8% in Q1FY26. This divergence suggests cost efficiencies or favorable product mix shifts offset the decline in sales volume during the quarter.

Governance and Compliance

The unaudited financial results for the quarter were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors in their respective meetings held on August 13, 2026. The Statutory Auditors of the company conducted a limited review of the financial results. The results have been published in newspapers as per Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
