MTNL reported FY2026 standalone revenue of Rs. 1,468.81 crore, up 14.8% from Rs. 1,279.75 crore in FY2025. However, the company reported a massive loss before tax of Rs. 3,102.94 crore (vs Rs. 3,323.51 crore loss in FY2025), showing marginal improvement. The statutory auditors issued an ADVERSE OPINION citing: complete erosion of net worth (negative Rs. 29,974.84 crore), defaults on bank loans of Rs. 9,262.53 crore (classified as NPA), inability to verify revenue recognition from BSNL under the new SLA, unconfirmed balances with BSNL (net recoverable Rs. 4,101.34 crore) and DOT (net payable Rs. 429.60 crore), and understatement of liabilities by Rs. 352.30 crore for penal guarantee fees. The company also appointed Vasudev Singh as new CFO replacing Anirudh Prasad Singh, and reappointed R.M. Bansal & Co. as Cost Auditor. Credit rating remains at CARE D. The Government has constituted a Committee of Secretaries to examine merger of MTNL with BSNL.
The adverse auditor opinion with complete net worth erosion, NPA classification of bank loans, and multiple unresolved balance confirmations signals extreme financial distress. Despite revenue growth, the company remains deep in losses with negative net worth, making it a high-risk investment. Government-backed revival plans and potential BSNL merger remain under consideration.
