The Group's negative net worth stood at INR 26,766 million.

Impairment and Other Key Developments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company recognised an impairment loss of INR 2,948 million for its integrated milling division following an impairment assessment. Given that the company follows the revaluation model for property, plant and equipment and holds an existing revaluation surplus for this division, the impairment loss was accounted for as a revaluation decrease in Other Comprehensive Income. The amount of revaluation reserve as at March 31, 2026, on a standalone basis, was INR 5,613 million, and on a consolidated basis was INR 6,353 million.

Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the standalone entity recognised income of INR 353 million due to reversal of cane provisions determined by management as no longer payable, included in cost of materials consumed. The consolidated entity recognised INR 376 million on the same account. The asset cover for non-convertible debentures (NCDs) stood at 1.57, with NCDs secured by an exclusive charge on the movable and immovable assets of the Panchaganga and Haldia plants.
