Dharani Sugars & Chemicals Limited has submitted to the Exchange, the financial results for the period ended Jun 30, 2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Dharani Sugars reported unaudited results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) showing a net loss of Rs 2,058.36 lakhs, worse than the Rs 1,342.59 lakh loss in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations was only Rs 23.10 lakhs, indicating near-zero commercial activity. The company has accumulated losses and negative net worth, though management prepared results on a going-concern basis citing a revival plan to restart production. The statutory auditor issued a modified review opinion with 9 qualifications/emphasis-of-matter points, flagging concerns around fair-value of investments, missing balance confirmations, unpaid borrowings, and unrecorded interest on related-party loans. Total outstanding borrowings from directors and related parties stood at Rs 18,119.32 lakhs, with an additional Rs 33,465 lakhs disclosed as contingent unsustainable debt under the Master Restructuring Agreement. Several statutory dues (TDS, PF, ESI, professional tax) and a Rs 2,470 lakh loan from Iheart Properties remain unpaid. The board also appointed Mr P Sakthivel as Independent Director for 5 years.
This is a severely distressed company — shareholders face significant risk given the going-concern qualification, deep operating losses, negative net worth, multiple unpaid obligations, and contingent liabilities of Rs 33,465 lakhs that could crystallize into actual debt. The auditor's modified opinion with 9 qualifications underscores serious financial and operational concerns, and the stock is likely to remain under heavy pressure.
