The full read
Power Mech Projects ended FY26 with a consolidated net profit of ₹411.68 crore, up from the prior year's ₹347.55 crore. But the parent company's standalone profit was virtually flat at ₹298.37 crore, barely changed from ₹300.55 crore. The numbers tell a clear story: the growth came from subsidiaries, not the flagship business. The board's dividend recommendation of ₹1.50 per share is routine and adds little to the narrative. Auditors gave both sets of financials an unmodified opinion. With no surprise in the headline figures, the results confirm steady execution but offer no fresh catalyst. The next test is whether the subsidiaries can keep delivering and whether the parent can get back to growing its own bottom line.
