The full read
EMS's revenue fell 25% in FY26 to ₹732.7 crore. The worst of it came in Q4, where revenue plunged 55% to ₹120.5 crore from ₹269.8 crore a year earlier. In a business shrinking this fast, the board's decisions carry more weight. Chairman Ramveer Singh's voluntary surrender of his ₹50 lakh monthly salary saves ₹6 crore a year. The board still declared a ₹1.50 per-share final dividend. The company also signed up M/s. Rishi Kapoor & Co for strategic advice on capital optimization and approved a ₹35 crore guarantee for its subsidiary, EMS Industries. The mix is defensive: cut costs where you can, shore up the balance sheet, and prepare for moves the consultant will recommend.
