Confidence Petroleum India Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹9,653 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, an increase from ₹9,084 lakh in the previous year. Revenue from operations for the year stood at ₹4,70,457 lakh, compared to ₹3,14,576 lakh in FY25. The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹0.10 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The statutory auditors issued a modified opinion on the financial results due to discrepancies in Goods and Services Tax (GST) input tax credit reconciliations.
Financial Performance
The company's standalone net profit for FY26 was ₹8,633 lakh, up from ₹7,740 lakh in the previous year, with revenue from operations rising to ₹4,52,967 lakh from ₹3,02,739 lakh. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the consolidated net profit was ₹3,439 lakh, while the standalone net profit was ₹2,670 lakh. The board approved the audited financial results for both standalone and consolidated entities during a meeting held on May 30, 2026.
Audit Qualifications
The statutory auditors, Singhi & Co. and Katariya and Munot, issued a qualified opinion on the standalone and consolidated financial results. The qualification arises from a difference of ₹1,288 lakh in the holding company's input tax credit between the balance reflected on the GST Network portal and the amount recorded in the books of account. The auditors stated they were unable to ascertain the impact of this discrepancy on the profit for the year and earlier periods, or its consequential effect on retained earnings and assets. The management is currently reconciling these differences and does not expect a material impact on the financial position.
Dividend and Borrowings
The board recommended a final dividend of 10%, or ₹0.10 per share, on a face value of ₹1 each for FY26. Additionally, the company confirmed it is not a Large Corporate as per SEBI circular dated October 19, 2023. Outstanding qualified borrowings at the end of the financial year were ₹174 crore, a decrease from ₹305.21 crore at the start of the year. The highest credit rating for the company's unsupported bank borrowings is A (Single A) by Acuite Rating and Research.
