Manaksia Aluminium Company Ltd has announced its audited standalone financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a net profit after tax of ₹7.56 crore, marking a 25% increase from the ₹6.05 crore profit recorded in the previous fiscal year.
Strong Revenue Growth Fuels Profitability
This improved profit was driven by a 10.7% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations, which reached ₹563.91 crore in FY2026, up from ₹510.16 crore in FY2025.
Dividend Recommendation and Auditor Appointments
In line with its financial performance, the board has recommended a final dividend of Re 0.05 per equity share, pending shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. For the upcoming fiscal year 2026-27, M/s. S Bhalotia & Associates have been appointed as Internal Auditors, and M/s. S. Chhaparia & Associates as Cost Auditors. The company's statutory auditors, M/s Dangi Jain & Co., provided an unmodified opinion on the FY2026 financial results.
Global Expansion Initiatives
Manaksia Aluminium is actively pursuing international expansion. The company incorporated Manaksia Aluminium Inc. in the USA on August 30, 2024, and Metal Star Celling Panel FZE in the UAE on July 11, 2025. These new entities are intended to broaden the company's market reach beyond India and support future growth.
Navigating the GST Demand Order
A significant factor for the company is a Goods and Services Tax (GST) demand order totaling ₹38.80 crore, accompanied by a penalty of ₹3.88 crore. Manaksia Aluminium has filed appeals against this order. The company's management has expressed confidence that no material liability will arise from this matter, and they are actively engaged in the appeals process.
Operational and Regulatory Considerations
The company is also assessing the potential financial and operational impacts of the consolidation of labour legislations into New Labour Codes, which are expected to become effective on November 21, 2025. Due to pending share application money for the newly established US and UAE entities, consolidated financial statements for FY2026 are not being prepared at this time, indicating that the integration of these new ventures is ongoing.
Industry Landscape
Manaksia Aluminium operates in the competitive aluminium sector. Key industry peers include Hindalco Industries Ltd, which has recently contended with input cost pressures impacting its margins, and National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO), which navigates the inherent volatility of commodity prices.
Key Areas for Investor Focus
Shareholders will be watching for the approval of the final dividend at the AGM. The resolution of the GST demand order and penalty through the ongoing appeals process will be a critical development. Furthermore, the progress and financial performance of the newly incorporated US and UAE subsidiaries, alongside the impact of the New Labour Codes, will be important metrics for investors to track.
