AG Ventures Limited (formerly Oriental Carbon & Chemicals Limited) announced its Q1 FY26 results on August 4, 2025, with the Board approving both standalone and consolidated unaudited financial results. Consolidated revenue from continuing operations was Rs 2,049.97 lakhs vs Rs 2,144.18 lakhs in Q1 FY25, while consolidated profit after tax stood at Rs 745.77 lakhs vs Rs 762.77 lakhs in the same quarter last year, showing broadly flat year-on-year performance. Standalone numbers are heavily impacted by the demerger of the chemicals business, which has been classified as discontinued operations, with an exceptional gain of Rs 2,214.08 lakhs booked on the demerger arrangement. The company voluntarily delisted from NSE effective June 20, 2025, but continues to be listed on BSE. Auditor S S Kothari Mehta & Co LLP issued a clean (unmodified) limited review report on both sets of results.
For shareholders, the core continuing business (mainly investments and trading, with general engineering through subsidiary Duncan Engineering) delivered steady but slightly lower earnings. The large exceptional gain from the demerger is a one-time accounting entry and doesn't reflect operating performance. The delisting from NSE means less trading liquidity going forward, though BSE listing remains.
