Hindustan Motors Limited reported a net profit of ₹22 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹429 lakh recorded in the preceding quarter. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 06, 2026, following review by the Audit Committee. This positive outcome, driven primarily by other income, signals a stabilization in the company’s financial position despite ongoing operational challenges and legal uncertainties regarding its core assets.

The certification of these results was issued by Chief Executive Officer Prakash Sahu and Chief Financial Officer Mahesh Kumar Kejriwal on August 06, 2026. In their statement to the Board, the executives affirmed that the financial statements present a true and fair view of the company’s affairs and comply with applicable accounting standards and laws. They further confirmed that no transactions during the quarter were fraudulent or violative of the company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The results were filed with stock exchanges pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Financial Performance Details

Total income for the quarter stood at ₹94 lakh, while total expenses were contained at ₹67 lakh. The net profit before tax and exceptional items was ₹27 lakh. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) were ₹0.01, compared to a loss per share of ₹0.20 in the previous quarter. The total comprehensive income for the period was ₹42 lakh.

Operational and Legal Landscape

Despite the quarterly profitability, statutory auditors KAMG & Associates issued a qualified opinion highlighting material uncertainty about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing the lack of operations for an extended period. The Government of West Bengal resumed possession of the Uttarpara factory land in November 2022. Although the Supreme Court rejected the company’s petition against this resumption on July 16, 2025, Hindustan Motors plans to file a review petition seeking retention of a portion of the land under Section 6(1)(c) of the West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act, 1953. The company continues to explore new business avenues to capitalize on its remaining assets outside West Bengal.

What the Numbers Show

The reversal to profitability is largely attributable to non-operational income rather than core business activities. With total income of ₹94 lakh driven primarily by 'other income' and no significant operational revenue disclosed, the net profit of ₹22 lakh reflects cost containment and incidental gains rather than a revival of manufacturing or sales operations. Investors should note that the qualified audit opinion regarding going concern status persists, indicating that the long-term viability of the company remains contingent on resolving the land dispute and establishing sustainable operational revenue streams.

Hindustan Motors Limited reported a net worth of ₹3,205.37 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, as accumulated losses reduced significantly from ₹25,218.07 lakh in March 2017. The company filed statements on the impact of audit qualifications with BSE Limited on June 11, 2026, confirming that the adjusted financial figures remained unchanged from the audited figures reported earlier. The statutory auditor, KAMG & Associates, issued a qualified opinion regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing the resumption of land by the Government of West Bengal and a lack of operations.

The company’s total income for FY26 stood at ₹1,226 lakh, while total expenditure was ₹395.87 lakh, resulting in a net profit of ₹14.98 lakh. The balance sheet shows total assets of ₹5,524.54 lakh and total liabilities of ₹2,319.17 lakh. Management attributed the reduction in losses to cost rationalisation following the suspension of work at the Uttarpara plant and the absence of external borrowings. The company stated it is debt-free regarding financial debt and has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.

Financial Performance

The financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, reflect a turnaround compared to the previous year. The company reported a basic and diluted earnings per share of ₹0.00. The exceptional items for the year included a write-off of ₹835 lakh related to the property, plant, and equipment resumed by the West Bengal government.

Audit Qualifications and Going Concern

KAMG & Associates, the statutory auditor, highlighted a material uncertainty regarding the company's status as a going concern. The qualification arose because the Government of West Bengal resumed possession of the Uttarpara factory land during the year, leading the company to write off the property. The auditor noted that the company has incurred losses and lacks long-term operations.

However, the management maintains the going concern basis based on several factors. These include plans to file a review petition to grant a portion of land under Section 6(1)(c) of the West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act, 1953, and the exploration of new business avenues. Additionally, the company emphasized that its net worth improved from a negative ₹1,632.50 lakh in March 2023 to a positive ₹3,205.37 lakh in March 2026.

Regulatory Disclosures

The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results on May 28, 2026. The company confirmed that it has no subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures. The auditor also reported that the company has an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting that was operating effectively as of March 31, 2026. The filing was made in compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
