CHD Chemicals reported a widened net loss of ₹31.38 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of ₹19.64 crore in the previous year. Revenue from operations declined 23.7% to ₹525.32 crore from ₹688.45 crore in FY25. The company's Board of Directors approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, at a meeting held on May 30, 2026.
The statutory auditor, GAMS & Associates LLP, issued an adverse opinion on the standalone financial statements. The report states that the company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, rather than the mandated Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). Consequently, the financial statements do not give a true and fair view as they were not prepared using the applicable financial reporting framework. The effects of these departures on assets, liabilities, and equity have not been determined by management.
