Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
The board approved Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) unaudited results with revenue from operations of Rs. 16,803 lakhs and a net loss of Rs. 4,013 lakhs (EPS of Rs. -3.84). The statutory auditor, Lodha & Co LLP, issued an adverse conclusion on the results, flagging serious concerns: Rs. 2,86,050 lakhs in Inter-Corporate Deposits given to the promoter group and certain other entities that are doubtful of recovery (with only Rs. 1,01,039 lakhs already provided for), unresolved related-party and Section 185 compliance issues, and significant uncertainty over the going concern assumption. Other equity is deeply negative at Rs. -34,174 lakhs, and total borrowings stand at Rs. 1,46,107 lakhs, of which Rs. 1,03,303 lakhs have been assigned to NARCL with a resolution plan under consideration. Separately, the board recommended re-appointment of Ms. Rupanjana De as Independent Director for a second 3-year term, appointed M/s A.K. Labh & Co. as the new Secretarial Auditor for 5 years, and approved voluntary delisting from the Calcutta Stock Exchange (shares continue to trade on BSE and NSE, with no exit offer required).
This is a strongly negative filing. The adverse audit opinion, the massive doubtful promoter-group ICDs, negative net worth, and the explicit going-concern uncertainty confirm the company is in severe financial distress and dependent on successful debt resolution with NARCL. Shareholders should expect continued stock-price weakness and high risk until a sustainable resolution is approved; the CSE delisting itself is neutral since BSE and NSE listings remain.
