BPL Limited reported a consolidated net loss of ₹855.01 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a significant decline from the net profit of ₹9.42 crore recorded in the previous year. Revenue from operations for the period stood at ₹7,812.43 crore. The company’s Board of Directors approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results at a meeting held on May 28, 2026.
The Board, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, approved the appointment of Mr. C K Sabareeshan as an Independent Director for a further term of five consecutive years, commencing from FY 2026-2027 to FY 2030-2031, subject to shareholder approval. Mr. Sabareeshan holds 1,500 shares in the company.
The financial statements were subject to a qualified opinion by the statutory auditors, MKUK & Associates. The auditors cited that the company is yet to redeem preference shares amounting to ₹16,958.68 lacs, which were due for redemption in August 2019 due to inadequacy of profits. Additionally, the auditors noted that the financial statements of subsidiary Ramagundam Power Generation Private Limited are prepared on a going concern basis, though the auditors believe the factors underlying this assumption may no longer exist.
The company reported that contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2026, stood at ₹6,559.95 crore. BPL Limited is also involved in ongoing legal disputes, including an application filed by a creditor under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, before the National Company Law Tribunal, Kochi, for the recovery of alleged dues.
