Standalone revenue and profitability declined during the year, while consolidated revenue and profitability increased, primarily because of growth in the service-income segment. The financial results should be read together with the audited financial statements and notes forming part of the Annual Report.

2. STATE OF AFFAIRS AND PERFORMANCE

On a standalone basis, the Company continued to be engaged mainly in the trading of commodities and related goods. Revenue from operations was Rs.9,141.56 lakh compared with Rs.10,181.49 lakh in the previous year, and profit after tax was Rs.239.62 lakh compared with Rs.301.49 lakh. The lower standalone performance reflected the reduced scale of trading activity, higher finance costs and higher depreciation, partly offset by an increase in other income.

At the consolidated level, the Group reported revenue from operations of Rs.19,471.15 lakh and profit after tax of Rs.1,644.89 lakh. Service income increased to Rs.10,142.14 lakh and became the largest contributor to consolidated revenue, while trading revenue amounted to Rs.9,329.01 lakh. The Group continued to strengthen governance, risk management and digital processes while monitoring working capital, counterparty exposure and capital deployment.

3. DIVIDEND AND DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY

The Board has not recommended any final dividend for FY 2025-26. Subsequent to the close of the financial year, the Board at its meeting held on 29 May 2026 declared an interim dividend of 1%, i.e., Rs.0.01 (One Paisa) per equity share of face value Rs.1 each for FY 2025-26.
