Shervani Industrial Syndicate has fixed September 18, 2026 as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for its FY26 final dividend. The payout follows the Board's recommendation of ₹2.50 per ordinary share and ₹6.25 per deferred share, despite the company reporting a net loss of ₹69 lakh for the fiscal year.

The company reported a net loss of ₹69 lakh for FY26, widening from a profit of ₹446 lakh in the previous year. Revenue from operations contracted sharply by 62% to ₹1,687 lakh, reflecting lower real estate sales execution.

Financial Performance

The decline in profitability was driven by a significant drop in top-line growth and higher tax expenses relative to income. Total revenue fell to ₹2,265 lakh from ₹4,868 lakh in FY25. While construction expenses rose to ₹4,033 lakh from ₹3,629 lakh, changes in inventory provided a credit of ₹3,026 lakh.

Operational Updates

Shervani Industrial continues its focus on real estate development, healthcare, and hospitality. The group housing project "Victory Towers" is progressing per schedule. The Prayagraj Development Authority has sanctioned a new project, "Unity Tower," comprising 130 residential units, alongside a commercial center named "The Point." Registration with UPRERA is pending before bookings commence.

The subsidiary, Farco Foods Private Limited, incurred a loss of ₹4 lakh due to underutilized capacity in biscuit manufacturing. Management is negotiating for higher volumes with principals to eliminate these losses.

What the Numbers Show

The financial results highlight a divergence between cash generation and reported profitability. While the company posted a net loss, it generated ₹4,444 lakh in operating cash flow, driven primarily by a ₹7,256 lakh increase in advances from customers. This suggests strong booking momentum in its real estate projects, even as revenue recognition remains subdued due to the completed contract method of accounting.

Governance and AGM Details

The company's 78th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for September 28, 2026. The AGM will address the re-appointment of Executive Chairman Saleem Iqbal Shervani and the appointment of Bal Krishna Misra as Whole-time Director designated as Executive Director. Misra will oversee finance, accounts, and corporate affairs for five years. Members can vote via remote e-voting between September 25 and September 27, 2026.

Shervani Industrial Syndicate Limited appointed Bal Krishna Misra as Additional Director and Whole Time Director, designated as Executive Director, effective August 06, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the five-year term during its meeting on August 06, 2026, which also sanctioned the company’s Q1FY27 standalone net profit of ₹134 crore. This leadership appointment coincides with a significant financial turnaround, as the company reported a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹134 crore, reversing a net loss of ₹87 crore in the preceding quarter. The move aims to strengthen strategic management and corporate governance during this period of restored profitability.

Misra, who has been with the company since 2004, currently serves as General Manager (Finance & Accounts). His appointment was recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on his over 22 years of experience in finance, corporate laws, and secretarial compliances. As an Additional Director, Misra will hold office until the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM) for FY25-26, where his appointment will be placed for shareholder ratification. The Board confirmed that Misra is not debarred from holding the office of director by SEBI or any other authority, in compliance with BSE Circular No. LIST/COMP/14/2018-19 dated June 20, 2018.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s standalone revenue from operations surged to ₹460 crore in Q1FY27, up from ₹149 crore in Q4FY26. Total income on a standalone basis reached ₹594 crore, compared to ₹440 crore in the previous quarter. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹560 crore, driven by ₹100 crore in job work revenue from the biscuit manufacturing segment, which contributed nil revenue in the corresponding quarter of FY26.

Segment-wise Analysis

The Real Estate segment remained the primary driver, generating ₹460 crore in standalone revenue and reporting a segment result of ₹213 crore. In the consolidated view, the Job Work segment contributed ₹100 crore in revenue but reported a segment result of (₹1) crore. The Information Technology segment reported nil revenue in Q1FY27. Segment assets for Real Estate stood at ₹31,712 crore, while liabilities were recorded at ₹20,610 crore.

What the Numbers Show

The sharp reversal in profitability is primarily attributable to tax expenses, which dropped significantly from ₹201 crore in Q4FY26 to ₹38 crore in Q1FY27. While profit before tax increased modestly from ₹114 crore to ₹172 crore on a standalone basis, the net profit swung from a loss of ₹87 crore to a gain of ₹134 crore. This divergence suggests that the previous quarter’s high tax outflow included one-time provisions or adjustments for earlier years that have now been resolved. The Statutory Auditor, P.L. Tandon & Co., issued a limited review report on these results pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
