Lyka Labs Limited has reported a net loss of ₹322.84 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a significant reversal from the net profit of ₹79.18 crore recorded in the previous fiscal year. The decline was primarily driven by the recognition of an exceptional impairment loss amounting to ₹23.01 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

Total expenses rose to ₹135.10 crore from ₹126.35 crore year-on-year. The company reported a profit before exceptional items and tax of ₹(10.22) crore, compared to ₹11.10 crore in the previous year.
Exceptional Impairment Charge
A key factor impacting the financials was the recognition of an impairment loss amounting to ₹23.01 crore. This charge relates to the company's investment and loans in its subsidiary, Lyka BDR International Limited.
