CMPDI FY26 results: Revenue up 10%, dividend ₹1.06

Board clears audited FY26 numbers and dividend recommendation

Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Ltd (CMPDI), the Coal India subsidiary that recently listed on the exchanges, disclosed its audited standalone results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The board also recommended a final dividend for FY2025-26, which will require shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM). The updates were shared through stock exchange filings that covered both the board meeting intimation and the board meeting outcome.

For investors tracking the stock’s first set of post-listing audited annual numbers, the combination of revenue growth, lower profit, and a dividend proposal forms the key takeaway. The announcement also comes shortly after CMPDI’s market debut on March 30, when the stock listed below its IPO price.

FY26 headline performance: revenue up, net profit down

CMPDI reported FY26 revenue of ₹2,316.53 crore, a year-on-year increase of 10.17%. Net profit for FY26 came in at ₹613.18 crore, down 8.06% year-on-year. The numbers were presented as audited standalone financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026.

The revenue growth indicates continued demand for CMPDI’s services through the year, but the decline in net profit shows that higher revenue did not translate into higher bottom-line growth in FY26. The filing did not provide a detailed segment-wise bridge in the text provided, but it clearly highlighted the two headline metrics and their year-on-year movements.

Final dividend recommendation: ₹1.06 per share

The board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.06 per share for FY2025-26. CMPDI said the dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. In its earlier board meeting notice, the company had indicated that the board may consider and recommend a final dividend for FY2025-26, if any, and that any payment would be subject to shareholder approval.

For dividend-focused investors, the key points are the declared amount per share and the process timeline. The recommendation is a board-level decision, but it only becomes payable after the AGM approval.

Timeline: what happened and when

CMPDI had informed exchanges that its Board of Directors would meet on April 21, 2026, to consider and approve the audited standalone financial results for Q4 FY26 and the full fiscal year. The same meeting agenda also included consideration of a final dividend for FY26. The board meeting outcome note on the audited results and dividend recommendation is dated April 21, 2026 at 20:04:00.

The sequence matters because CMPDI is newly listed, and these communications help define its early cadence around results, disclosures, and shareholder payouts. The company also indicated that it is expected to hold an earnings conference call, with the schedule likely to be announced later.

Trading window closure under insider trading norms

In a separate filing, CMPDI said its trading window has been closed since April 1 and will reopen on April 24 for designated persons such as directors and promoters. The stated purpose was compliance with SEBI’s prevention of insider trading norms. This aligns with common practice around financial result periods, especially for companies with a recent listing and heightened attention on disclosures.

Stock price moves since listing

CMPDI’s listing on March 30 was at a discount to the IPO price. The stock opened at ₹160 on the NSE and ₹162.8 on the BSE, compared with the issue price of ₹172, translating into a discount of nearly 7% on the NSE. After the debut, the stock’s subsequent trading range included an all-time high of ₹187.85 on April 17 and a post-listing low of ₹150 on April 7 on the NSE.

In the last five sessions referenced in the provided text, the shares gained 5.08%. CMPDI shares ended 5.08% higher at ₹181.50 on the NSE on a Friday session cited in the report, while the Nifty 50 was up 0.65%.

IPO context: offer-for-sale and issue size

CMPDI came to the market through a book-built IPO worth ₹1,841.45 crore, consisting entirely of an offer-for-sale of 10.71 crore shares. The price band was ₹163 to ₹172 per share. Because the issue was fully an OFS, proceeds went to the selling shareholder rather than into the company, and there was no fresh issue component mentioned in the text.

CMPDI was incorporated in 1975 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Coal India, and it provides consultancy and support services spanning coal and mineral exploration, mine planning and design, environmental planning, and geomatics and survey services. The listing has put a sharper spotlight on quarterly reporting, dividend policy signals, and disclosures such as trading-window restrictions.

What investors will track next

The immediate next checkpoint is shareholder approval for the final dividend at the AGM, since the company has clearly stated the dividend is subject to that step. Investors are also likely to watch for any additional commentary in the earnings conference call that the company is expected to schedule later.

With CMPDI’s first audited annual numbers after listing now on record, attention will shift to how the company sustains revenue growth and whether profitability trends normalise in subsequent quarters. Separately, given the stock has traded above its IPO price after debuting at a discount, near-term price action may continue to be driven by results-related disclosures, dividend timelines, and broader market sentiment.
