The full read
MSTC is pivoting into travel-tech. The state-owned e-commerce firm, known for government scrap auctions, got board approval to amend its MOA and formally add travel-agency and tour-operator services. This builds on an existing partnership with EaseMyTrip to service government clients. The new vertical is a bet on diversifying beyond the company's core public-sector auction business. Alongside the strategic move, MSTC recommended a final dividend of ₹8.10 per share for FY26. The audited accounts received an unmodified opinion, and a shareholder meeting to approve the changes is set for September 24. The financials themselves were not disclosed in this filing.
