Secured Creditors Meeting Details

Previously, PPAP Automotive had scheduled a separate meeting of its secured creditors for the same day, September 30, 2026, at 12:30 pm. Both meetings aim to secure stakeholder approval for the merger scheme under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Scheme Details and Rationale

Avinya Batteries Limited is engaged in manufacturing lithium-ion battery pack solutions for two-wheeler and three-wheeler industries, as well as energy storage systems. PPAP Automotive manufactures sealing systems and injection-moulded products for the automotive sector.

The proposed amalgamation aims to consolidate operations to achieve synergies in operational and financial management. The company stated that the merger will reduce operating and administrative costs, improve profitability, and allow for centralized management of funds to support future growth opportunities.

Financial Position and Capital Structure

As of March 31, 2026, Avinya Batteries reported a net loss of ₹715.52 lakh for the year ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of ₹797.48 lakh in the previous year. Revenue from operations stood at ₹1,446.71 lakh for FY26, up from ₹635.31 lakh in FY25.

PPAP Automotive reported a standalone net profit of ₹3,343.48 lakh for FY26, compared to ₹1,409.27 lakh in FY25. Revenue from operations was ₹53,629.54 lakh for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Accounting Treatment and Appointed Date

The appointed date for the scheme is April 1, 2026. Upon effectiveness, the entire share capital of Avinya Batteries will stand cancelled without any new shares being issued by PPAP Automotive. The amalgamation will be accounted for using the 'Pooling of Interest Method' under IND-AS 103.

All assets and liabilities of Avinya Batteries will vest in PPAP Automotive at their carrying values. Inter-company balances between the two entities will be adjusted off. The statutory auditors, T R Chadha & Co LLP, have certified that the proposed accounting treatment complies with Indian Accounting Standards.

What the Numbers Show

The financial data reveals a divergence in performance between the parent and subsidiary. While PPAP Automotive generated a net profit of over ₹3,300 lakh, Avinya Batteries incurred a net loss of ₹715.52 lakh. The consolidation aims to absorb these losses within the larger entity's operational framework, potentially leveraging PPAP’s stronger revenue base of ₹53,629.54 lakh to support the battery business unit.
