Bhagawati Gas reported a net profit of ₹99.08 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹14.24 lakh in the previous year. The company's board approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, at a meeting held on May 30, 2026. Revenue from operations for the year stood at ₹24.84 lakh, while other income increased to ₹254.45 lakh, which included a write-back of ₹235.24 lakh related to a long-outstanding creditor balance. The statutory auditors, M/s Jain Paras Bilala & Co., issued a qualified opinion on the financial results. The qualification stems from the company's failure to provide balance confirmations for advances totaling ₹366.47 lakh, which are considered doubtful for recovery, and the absence of a documented Expected Credit Loss (ECL) policy. Additionally, auditors noted the unavailability of bank statements for an ICICI Bank account holding a balance of ₹0.53 lakh and a lack of external confirmations for current borrowings of ₹27.00 lakh and other financial liabilities of ₹11.86 lakh.

The company's total comprehensive income for FY26 rose to ₹101.65 lakh from ₹17.31 lakh in the previous year. Earnings per share (EPS) for the year improved to ₹0.61 from ₹0.10 in FY25.

Audit Qualifications and Emphasis Matters
Besides the qualified opinion, auditors drew attention to an emphasis of matter regarding the continued recognition of a receivable of ₹322.44 lakh under the "Vivad se Vishwas II (Contractual Disputes) Scheme". Management asserts the claim is reasonably certain based on legal opinions, though it remains pending for processing. Another emphasis of matter highlighted the write-back of ₹235.24 lakh in other income, based on management's assessment that no claims would arise from a creditor after a decade of silence.
The board also noted that the company does not fall under the Large Corporate category as per SEBI circulars regarding debt securities. The trading window for the company's securities, which was closed from April 1, 2026, will reopen 48 hours after the declaration of these financial results.
