Dhoot Industrial Finance Reports FY26 Results, Plans NBFC De-registration
Net Profit FY2026: ₹17.99 crore | Revenue FY2026: ₹41.16 crore
Financial Performance and Dividend
Dhoot Industrial Finance Ltd announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a net profit of ₹17.99 crore on revenue from operations of ₹41.16 crore. This compares to a net profit of ₹18.88 crore and revenue of ₹40.34 crore in the previous fiscal year (FY25). The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval.
Strategic Pivot: Exiting NBFC Operations
In a significant strategic move, the company proposed to apply to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to de-register as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) effective July 1, 2026. The application window for this de-registration closes on December 31, 2026. This move signals a major shift in Dhoot Industrial Finance's business model and regulatory oversight.
Governance Enhancements
The company also updated its governance structure by appointing Ms. Priyanka Kothari as an Additional Independent Director for a five-year term. Additionally, M/s. P. P. Mutha & Associates were appointed as Internal Auditors for the fiscal year 2026-27.
Future Outlook and Risks
If the RBI approves the de-registration, Dhoot Industrial Finance will cease to operate as an NBFC from July 1, 2026. This transition is expected to lead to changes in its operational focus and compliance requirements. The primary risk lies in obtaining the necessary RBI approval, as any delays or rejections could impact the company's strategic plans. Investors will be watching the company's performance and strategy following this potential transition.
