HOCL's Board, on 13th November 2025, approved unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q2 and H1 FY26 (ended 30 Sept 2025) with an unmodified auditor opinion from M/s Balan & Co. Standalone Q2 revenue from operations fell sharply to Rs. 126.27 crore from Rs. 174.72 crore in Q2 FY25 (down ~28%), and the company reported a standalone net loss of Rs. 18.14 crore for the quarter and Rs. 24.64 crore for the half-year, versus a profit of Rs. 39.15 crore for FY25 (boosted by a one-time GOI loan waiver). The auditor flagged emphasis-of-matter notes on the going-concern assumption (restructuring plan in progress, land sales at Rasayani and Panvel), the subsidiary Hindustan Fluorocarbons loan, and non-compliance with SEBI LODR norms on independent directors. Operating cash flow for H1 was negative at Rs. (22.06) crore. The Board also noted CAG's re-appointment of statutory auditors for FY26 and the appointment of Shri Sangram Kumar Mishra as the new Chairman & Managing Director.
Continued quarterly losses and declining revenue are negative for shareholders, though the going-concern status is preserved as the Kochi Phenol plant is operational. The unresolved SEBI LODR non-compliance on independent directors remains a regulatory overhang, while the new CMD appointment brings the Board back to minimum strength.
