The consolidated financial results for the year also reflected a net loss of ₹104.36 crore. The decline was primarily driven by the recognition of an exceptional impairment loss amounting to ₹230.14 crore regarding its investment and loans in subsidiary Lyka BDR International Limited. The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results during a meeting held on May 25, 2026.
Financial Performance for FY26

Exceptional Impairment Charge

The impairment was necessitated by continuous operational losses and the severe erosion of the subsidiary's net worth. Consequently, the carrying value of these investments and loans has been reduced to Nil.
