Additionally, the Board approved a scheme of amalgamation with Arisunitem Re Solutions Private Limited, appointed as April 1, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

The company's stated growth strategies include deepening category expansion in high-margin segments such as RMC, aggregates, and asphalt; entering new categories including tiles, CP fittings, sanitaryware, electricals, and plumbing; geographic scale-up across high-growth infrastructure corridors and Tier 1/Tier 2 real estate markets; scaling Contract Manufacturing through additional third-party plant tie-ups; and growing the DaaS vertical for recurring, high-margin revenue streams.
Management Commentary
Mr. Ronak K. Morbia, Chairman and Managing Director, said:
"FY26 marks a defining year for ARIS. We completed our IPO, repaid substantial debt, deepened our Contract Manufacturing footprint, and significantly scaled our Developer-as-a-Service vertical — all while delivering a structural improvement in working capital efficiency. These results validate our asset-light, network-led model."
