Figures in ₹ crore
Capital Raises & Debt Management
Magnum Ventures issued and allotted 18% Listed Secured Non-convertible Debentures (NCDs) worth ₹50 crore on June 16, 2026, to NEO Special Credit Opportunities Fund. As of June 30, 2026, the company had utilized ₹29.36 crore of the proceeds, with no deviation in the use of funds. The funds were allocated for working capital (₹49.20 crore originally, with ₹28.81 crore utilized) and transaction expenses (₹80 lakh originally, with ₹54.77 lakh utilized).
Additionally, the company partially redeemed non-convertible debentures amounting to ₹1.63 crore pursuant to the terms attached to such NCDs on June 30, 2026. Outstanding debt excluding lease liabilities stood at ₹2,745.08 crore as of June 30, 2026.
What the Numbers Show
Despite the revenue decline, total expenses decreased marginally by less than 1% to ₹1,277.35 crore. However, finance costs remained high at ₹92.01 crore, consuming over half of the combined positive segment results (₹52.09 crore). This structural cost pressure highlights the company’s continued reliance on debt funding.
Balance Sheet & Regulatory Updates
Key balance sheet metrics indicate tightening liquidity:
- Debt-Equity Ratio: Increased to 0.40 from 0.34 in the previous quarter.
- Current Ratio: Improved slightly to 2.45 from 2.17.
- Inventory Turnover: Slowed to 1.18 from 1.35, suggesting slower inventory movement.
The statutory auditors, Manish Pandey & Associates, noted that trade receivables stood at ₹575.39 crore, with ₹19.64 crore outstanding for more than six months. Of this, ₹4.60 crore is under litigation. The auditors also highlighted that balances of debtors and creditors remain subject to confirmation.
Regulatory matters continue to evolve: the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has adjourned the hearing of the company’s appeal against a SEBI penalty order to October 15, 2026. The company had previously deposited the penalty amount of ₹12 lakh in compliance with the SAT's order dated July 13, 2023. Additionally, Magnum Ventures received observation letters from BSE and NSE regarding a proposed scheme of arrangement with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Magnum Paperz Limited.
