Rajasthan Cylinders and Containers Limited reported a net loss of ₹101.49 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, narrowing from a loss of ₹147.46 lakh in the previous year. The company’s Board of Directors approved the standalone audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, during a meeting held on May 26, 2026. The approval was granted pursuant to Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The statutory auditors, S R Goyal & Co, issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial results. The auditors highlighted a material uncertainty related to the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This uncertainty arises because the company has closed its manufacturing operations due to unsatisfactory performance and continued operational losses, and has disposed of its plant and machinery. However, the Board has accorded consent to appoint a consultant for setting a new project, and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Key Audit Qualifications
The auditors identified several matters leading to the qualified opinion:
- MSME Interest: The interest payable under Section 16 of the MSMED Act, 2006 on overdue amounts to micro and small enterprises has not been ascertained or provided for.

- Confirmations Pending: Balances of trade payables, financial assets, advances, loans given, interest receivable, and unsecured loans taken are subject to confirmation and consequential adjustments.
- Deferred Tax Assets: The company recognized deferred tax assets amounting to ₹650.76 lakh as of March 31, 2026. Due to the company's history of losses and lack of operational segments, the auditors could not comment on the adjustments required to the carrying value of these assets.
