WESTERN MINISTIL LTD.
Has no significant business activity of its own, with FY26 total income of Rs. 0.41 lakhs against expenses of Rs. 27.67 lakhs and a net loss of Rs. 27.26 lakhs. The statutory auditor flagged that accumulated losses exceed paid-up capital, current liabilities exceed current assets, and Rs. 286.68 lakhs of interest on related-party borrowings since April 2001 has not been provided for, raising material going-concern doubts. In May 2026, it completed the acquisition of 100% of Micron Calcite Private Limited for Rs. 45.40 lakhs (10,000 equity shares at Rs. 454 each), making it a wholly-owned subsidiary that now forms the operating side of the group. Micron Calcite trades and imports/exports industrial machinery, manufactures metal and plastic containers for industrial packaging, and trades and distributes chemicals. Share capital stands at Rs. 615.72 lakhs after a preferential issue, and the promoter group's holding rose to 62.07% of expanded equity following an open offer in which only 69,273 shares were tendered.

Sources, method and disclosures
This document is a statistical summary of publicly filed information and market data, prepared by software from primary sources: SEBI results XBRL filed with BSE and NSE, LODR disclosures, shareholding patterns, exchange price data. It contains no research recommendation, no price target and no opinion on the merits of any security, and is not a research report within the meaning of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, Regulation 2(1)(w)(vii). Financial statements are as filed (consolidated where the company files consolidated results). Ratios are computed over filed lines. Where a figure is unavailable the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. The business brief is written by MarketPing's reader from the annual report and checked against it; no figure in a table was generated by a model. Nothing here constitutes investment advice, an offer or a solicitation; readers should consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting. MarketPing is not a SEBI-registered intermediary.
