Jindal Photo Limited reported a net profit of ₹383 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, reversing the net loss of ₹274 lakh recorded in the previous year. This turnaround was primarily driven by a fair value gain of ₹95,066 lakh on shares received following the demerger of Jindal India Powertech Limited's power business. The Board of Directors approved the standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026 at a meeting held on May 30, 2026.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net loss of ₹106 lakh, compared to a loss of ₹60 lakh in the same period last year. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹47 lakh, while total expenses were ₹150 lakh. For the full year, total income rose to ₹1,261 lakh from ₹247 lakh in FY25.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Income | 47 | 54 | 1,261 | 247 |
| Total Expenses | 150 | 133 | 594 | 536 |

| Basic EPS (₹) | (1.04) | (0.57) | 3.74 | (2.67) |
The significant annual profitability was largely due to the recognition of a fair value gain of ₹95,066 lakh on shares received following the demerger of Jindal India Powertech Limited's power business. The National Company Law Tribunal sanctioned the scheme of arrangement in November 2025, with an effective date of April 1, 2025.
Auditor's Emphasis of Matter
The statutory auditors drew attention to notes regarding non-provision of doubtful loans and amounts recoverable from Mandakini Coal Company Limited (MCCL), a joint venture. The company has not provided for interest on a loan of ₹537 lakh to MCCL for the financial years 2015-16 to 2025-26, as the Board waived the interest. Additionally, no provision has been created for ₹5,132 lakh paid to IFCI to discharge a corporate guarantee for MCCL, as the Board deems the amount recoverable.
The Board also re-appointed M/s VASK & Associates, Chartered Accountants, as internal auditors for the financial year 2026-27. The trading window for dealing in the company's shares will reopen 48 hours after the declaration of the financial results.
