What the Numbers Show
The company’s profitability is heavily dependent on non-operating income rather than core business activities. Interest income accounted for ₹35,385.35 thousand, while fair value measurement gains contributed ₹39,588.33 thousand. Together, these two items constituted nearly 98% of the total other income, highlighting a reliance on financial asset valuation changes and interest accruals for bottom-line performance.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Total assets increased to ₹7,65,801.02 thousand from ₹7,36,662.91 thousand. Non-current assets dropped significantly to ₹8,141.63 thousand from ₹2,69,845.02 thousand, largely due to a reduction in loans and advances. Conversely, current assets surged to ₹7,57,659.39 thousand, driven by a sharp rise in other current assets to ₹6,87,465.98 thousand.
Cash and cash equivalents improved substantially to ₹6,268.47 thousand from ₹171.11 thousand. However, operating activities consumed ₹6,90,292.06 thousand in cash, offset by investing activities which generated ₹6,96,584.24 thousand, primarily from repayments of short-term and long-term loans.
Corporate Actions and Governance
The company convened its 37th Annual General Meeting on September 22, 2026, via video conferencing. Key agenda items included the adoption of audited standalone financial statements and the re-appointment of Mr. Kashyap Gandhi as a director liable to retire by rotation.
During the year, the company amended its Memorandum of Association to include activities related to mining and trading of bullion, precious metals, and allied sectors. No dividend was proposed for FY26, and no amounts were transferred to reserves. The statutory auditor, M/s. Piyush J Shah & Co., issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements, citing lack of sufficient audit evidence regarding certain borrowings and outstanding liabilities.
