Board meeting outcome
The board of TCI Express met on November 05, 2026. The outcome covers the company's accounts for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, and a boardroom appointment.
What the board approved
- Unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.
- The Limited Review Report submitted by the statutory auditors on those results.
- On the Nomination and Remuneration Committee's recommendation, the appointment of Ms. Ranjana Agarwal as a Non-Executive Independent Director, with effect from November 05, 2026, for a term of 5 consecutive years, subject to the approval of members through Postal Ballot.
- The Postal Ballot Notice seeking members' approval for that appointment, along with related matters.
The numbers, on a consolidated basis
- Revenue from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2026: Rs. 338.02 crore, against Rs. 308.53 crore in the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
- Net Profit/(loss) after tax for the quarter ended September 30, 2026: Rs. 20.49 crore, against Rs. 26.23 crore in the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
- For the half year ended September 30, 2026: Revenue from operations Rs. 651.42 crore and Net Profit/(loss) after tax Rs. 43.97 crore.
Read together, revenue from operations was higher year on year for the quarter, while Net Profit/(loss) after tax for the quarter was lower than the same quarter a year earlier. Standalone results were also approved at the same meeting.
What the auditors said
- The review was carried out under the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, which gives moderate assurance; the auditors do not express an audit opinion.
- Nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe the statement contains a material misstatement.
- Emphasis of Matter: a GST demand on the reverse charge mechanism amounting to INR 51.36 Crores, along with applicable interest and penalty. The company's appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) was rejected, and it has shared an appeal before the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal, Haryana. Management is confident of prevailing and does not anticipate an adverse financial outcome, and no adjustment is envisaged in these results. The auditors' conclusion is not modified for this matter.
What a retail reader can take away
- Both sets of quarterly accounts are approved, and the auditors' review carries no modification; the GST matter is drawn attention to as an Emphasis of Matter rather than a change to the reported numbers.
- The independent director appointment is a proposal at this stage and takes effect subject to members' approval through the postal ballot.
- The GST demand is the item to track: it is stated at INR 51.36 Crores plus interest and penalty, with the appeal now before the tribunal.
