Purohit Construction Limited ( Purohit Construction ) reported a standalone net loss of ₹78.75 lakh for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), compared to a loss of ₹9.98 lakh in the corresponding quarter of FY26. The company recorded no revenue from operations during the period, reflecting its current stage of real estate development activities.

The widening loss was primarily driven by a one-time provision of ₹69.45 lakh related to a Goods and Services Tax (GST) demand. This charge significantly impacted the bottom line, as operating expenses remained relatively stable at ₹78.62 lakh against negligible income.

Key Financial Metrics

GST Dispute and Provision

The financial results were heavily influenced by developments in an ongoing tax dispute. During Q3FY26, the company received a GST demand order for FY18 totaling ₹4.16 crore, comprising ₹2.08 crore for input tax credit disallowance and ₹2.08 crore in penalties and interest.

Initially, the company did not recognize a provision, citing strong legal grounds. However, the Commissioner (Appeals) rejected Purohit Construction’s appeal on June 24, 2026. Consequently, the company recognized a provision of ₹69.45 lakh in Q1FY27, representing its best estimate of the liability at this stage. Management intends to contest the order before the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT).

What the Numbers Show

The company’s balance sheet reflects a negative equity position of ₹-378.41 lakh under 'Other Equity', bringing total equity down to ₹62.15 lakh from ₹140.91 lakh at the end of FY26. This erosion is directly attributable to the accumulated losses from the GST provision.

Additionally, non-current liabilities surged to ₹77.31 lakh from ₹7.86 lakh in March 2026, largely due to the new GST provision. While cash reserves remain thin at ₹1.24 lakh, the company raised ₹6.25 lakh in short-term borrowings during the quarter to maintain liquidity.

Auditor Review

BNPS and Associates LLP conducted the limited review of the unaudited standalone financial results. In their report, the auditors included an 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraph drawing attention to the GST dispute and the associated provision, noting that the ultimate outcome depends on appellate authorities. No other material misstatements were identified.

Purohit Construction has scheduled its 35th Annual General Meeting for Monday, September 7, 2026, at 11:30 am. The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs circulars. Shareholders holding shares as of the cut-off date, August 31, 2026, are eligible to participate and vote.

Key Agenda Items

The Board has placed several ordinary and special resolutions before shareholders for approval:

• Director Reappointments: Reappointment of Saumil Narendrabhai Purohit as a Director retiring by rotation. Special resolutions to reappoint Narendra Purohit as Managing Director for five years without remuneration, effective April 1, 2027, and independent directors Daarrpan Shah and Karan Shah for five-year terms until July 8, 2032.
• Related Party Transactions: Approval for ongoing contracts with Aarush Procon LLP and PEB PCL Infracon LLP. The company estimates annual transaction values of up to ₹8.50 crore with Aarush Procon LLP and ₹10.00 crore with PEB PCL Infracon LLP for FY27 through FY30.
• Investment Authority: Seeking member consent under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, to provide loans, guarantees, or securities up to an aggregate limit of ₹50 crore.

Financial Context

The explanatory statement accompanying the notice highlights the company's recent financial performance. Total income rose from ₹1,200 thousand in FY25 to ₹1,900 thousand in FY26. However, the company reported a widening loss, with Profit Before Tax declining from (₹2,661) thousand in FY25 to (₹3,386) thousand in FY26. Consequently, Profit After Tax fell to (₹3,440) thousand from (₹2,521) thousand in the prior year. Earnings Per Share stood at (₹0.78) for FY26 compared to (₹0.57) in FY25.

What the Numbers Show

While top-line revenue expanded by approximately 58% year-on-year, the operating losses widened significantly. The divergence between revenue growth and profit deterioration suggests that cost structures or project margins may have pressured profitability despite higher income generation. The proposed related-party transactions, valued at up to ₹18.50 crore annually in aggregate, represent a substantial volume relative to the company’s FY26 turnover of ₹19.00 lakhs, indicating a strategic shift toward securing larger contract flows through affiliated entities.
