Authum Investment reports H1 profit, unveils employee stock option scheme

Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited reported consolidated profit before tax of INR 1,682.76 crores for the half-year ended September 30, 2025. The company's board approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results during a meeting on November 10, 2025.

Additionally, the board approved the "Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025," proposing to grant 500,000 options to eligible employees, subject to shareholder approval. A postal ballot will be conducted for this purpose, with e-voting scheduled from November 13, 2025, to December 12, 2025.

The results also detail the inclusion of new subsidiaries, India SME Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. and Billion Dream Sports Private Limited, in the consolidated financial statements. The company’s subsidiary, Open Elite Developers Private Limited, reported a net profit of INR 1.18 crores for the quarter, but highlighted accumulated losses of INR 890.94 crores as of September 30, 2025, raising concerns about its going concern ability, which is mitigated by comfort from the holding company and asset values.
