Prabhhans Industries Limited reported a net profit of ₹163.76 lacs for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), a decline of 28% from ₹227.27 lacs in FY25. Despite revenue from operations rising 16% to ₹1,010.77 lacs from ₹869.36 lacs, profitability was pressured by rising inventory costs and increased borrowing expenses. The company’s statutory auditor, Kapish Jain & Associates, confirmed that the standalone financial statements present a true and fair view of the company’s affairs as of March 31, 2026.
The Board of Directors approved the financial results on July 29, 2026, ahead of the company’s 32nd Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 21, 2026. Shareholders will vote on key resolutions including a proposed borrowing limit of ₹100 crore and waivers for excess managerial remuneration paid during FY25 and FY26. The company has closed its register of members and share transfer books from August 15 to August 21, 2026, to determine voting eligibility.
Financial Performance Overview
Revenue from operations grew significantly, driven by sales of materials which accounted for the entirety of the ₹1,010.77 lacs revenue figure. However, purchases of stock in trade surged to ₹1,039.40 lacs from ₹824.64 lacs in the previous year, reflecting higher input costs or volume buildup. Inventories increased by ₹671.24 lacs to ₹1,755.65 lacs, impacting cash flow from operations which turned negative at ₹463.19 lacs compared to an outflow of ₹78.94 lacs in FY25.

Finance costs decreased slightly to ₹53.00 lacs from ₹53.70 lacs, despite a substantial increase in total borrowings. Total debt rose to ₹1,141.27 lacs from ₹675.57 lacs, leading to a net debt-to-equity ratio increase to 1.00 from 0.63.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Signals
The company’s total assets grew to ₹3,832.02 lacs from ₹2,905.52 lacs, primarily due to the rise in current assets. Trade receivables increased to ₹1,494.16 lacs from ₹1,183.08 lacs, indicating higher credit sales. However, cash and cash equivalents dwindled to ₹10.26 lacs from ₹65.77 lacs, highlighting liquidity pressure amidst operational expansion.
Borrowings were secured against current assets, including trade receivables and inventories, with HDFC Bank Limited being a primary lender. Unsecured borrowings from directors stood at ₹434.32 lacs. The auditor noted that the company had incurred cash losses in the current and immediately preceding financial years but confirmed no material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
Governance and Regulatory Compliance
Kapish Jain & Associates issued an unqualified opinion on the internal financial controls, stating they were adequate and operating effectively. The auditor also confirmed compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations. Notably, the company did not declare any dividend for FY26. Management represented that no funds were advanced to intermediaries for lending to ultimate beneficiaries, and there were no pending litigations impacting financial position. The e-voting facility for the AGM will be managed by CDSL, with the cut-off date for eligibility set at August 14, 2026.
