Financial Performance Overview

Revenue from operations fell sharply to ₹48.01 crore in FY26, down from ₹333.55 crore in the previous year. This contraction was largely due to a net loss of ₹108.10 crore on fair value changes of financial instruments, compared to a smaller loss of ₹6.23 crore in FY25.

Despite the drop in core revenue, other income surged to ₹112.11 crore, up from just ₹2.60 crore in FY25. This spike was driven by a one-time profit of ₹107.67 crore from the sale of silver holdings.

Total expenses increased marginally by 6.8% to ₹200.10 crore, with employee benefit expenses rising to ₹50.59 crore and other expenses reaching ₹141.09 crore. The profit before tax swung to a loss of ₹39.99 crore from a profit of ₹148.78 crore.

What the Numbers Show

The financial results reveal a stark divergence between operational performance and non-operational gains. While revenue from operations collapsed by over 85%, other income surged more than 40-fold, accounting for roughly 70% of total income. This indicates that the bottom-line result was heavily influenced by the one-time sale of silver assets rather than core broking or advisory activities. Additionally, the company incurred a bank overdraft of ₹53.51 crore during the year, signaling increased reliance on short-term borrowing despite holding substantial fixed deposits.

Corporate Governance and Related Party Transactions

The Board proposed no dividend for FY26. The company spent ₹43.36 lakh on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, exceeding its obligation of ₹37.62 lakh. Key related party transactions included rent payments of ₹63.11 lakh to directors and their relatives, and brokerage received of ₹18.23 lakh from such entities.

Manoj Bharadia, who retires by rotation, seeks re-appointment as Whole-time Director for a three-year term effective November 1, 2026. His proposed remuneration includes a monthly salary ranging between ₹50,000 and ₹3,00,000, plus a bonus equivalent to four months' salary and commission up to 5% of net profits. He holds 23,60,540 shares in the company and attended eight board meetings during FY26.
