Detailed voting statistics

The following table summarizes the voting results for each resolution passed at the meeting:

Prashant India Limited reported a net profit of ₹636.63 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This marks a sharp turnaround from a net loss of ₹20.02 crore in the previous year.

The profit was driven entirely by exceptional items related to the sale of fixed assets, as the company's core operations remain discontinued. Revenue from operations fell significantly to ₹86.36 crore, down from ₹1,144.88 crore in FY25.

Financial Performance

The company recorded total income of ₹1,036.45 crore, comprising ₹86.36 crore from operations and ₹1,307.03 crore from other income. Exceptional items contributed ₹1,022.52 crore to the bottom line.

Finance costs stood at ₹346.46 crore compared to just ₹0.11 crore in the prior year. Depreciation expenses decreased to ₹2.52 crore from ₹8.46 crore.

What the Numbers Show

The reported profitability is non-operational in nature. The company incurred a loss before exceptional items of ₹385.89 crore in FY26, widening from a loss of ₹20.02 crore in FY25. This divergence highlights that the bottom-line improvement is solely due to one-time asset disposals rather than any recovery in core business performance.

Operational Status

The Textile Division has remained non-operational since July 2023. During FY26, the company sold the land and building of this division and is disposing of remaining plant machinery as scrap. The Wind Power Division was also discontinued following the disposal of its plant and machinery. Shareholders approved leasing the Wind Power Division site via postal ballot.

Governance and Litigation

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) dismissed a petition filed by shareholder Procon Financial & Investment Private Limited in August 2025. An appeal against this order is pending before the NCLAT. The Board appointed Mr. Shyamalbhai J Mashruwala as an Additional Director, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM.
