The statutory auditor, M/s. Singhi & Co., issued a qualified opinion on the financial results. The qualification relates to an advance payment of GST amounting to ₹641.52 lakh plus interest and penalties of ₹218.11 lakh, totaling ₹859.63 lakh, made during financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22. The liability pertains to financial years 2018-19 and 2019-20 following a search by GST Intelligence. As the investigation by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) was not complete and no order had been passed by March 31, 2026, the auditors stated they were unable to comment on the impact on the financial statements. The management noted that a refund petition is pending in the High Court.

Operational metrics showed mixed performance. While annual sales and dispatches increased by over 32% and 36% year-on-year respectively, the company faced higher expenses. Total expenses for the year rose to ₹16,567.93 lakh from ₹12,630.09 lakh. Finance costs increased to ₹2,156.49 lakh from ₹1,810.13 lakh. However, the company reported that cash profits and EBITDA increased by 73% and 38% year-on-year, respectively.

The balance sheet indicates a reduction in bank borrowings by over 15% from ₹181 crore to ₹153 crore. Three term loans with a sanctioned value of ₹61.40 crore were prepaid and closed in FY26. Consequently, the repayment obligation for FY27 reduced by 20.79% to ₹22.93 crore from ₹28.95 crore in FY26. Total assets stood at ₹42,322.12 lakh as of March 31, 2026, up from ₹40,998.82 lakh a year earlier.
