The company published the results in newspapers on May 27, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 and 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Qualified Opinion and Going Concern Risks
The auditors identified material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The net worth has been fully eroded as of March 31, 2026, and the company's continuity depends on the availability of finance and future profitability. Consequently, the auditors stated that the use of the going concern assumption is not adequately supported under Indian Accounting Standard 1.
Regulatory Non-Compliance and Audit Qualifications
The company reported negative Net Owned Funds (NOF) of ₹21,15,872,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, resulting in non-compliance with the minimum NOF requirements prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Additionally, the auditors noted that interest expenses on unsecured inter-corporate borrowings amounting to ₹86,144,000 for the quarter and ₹3,49,783,000 for the year were not recognized, constituting a departure from Indian Accounting Standard 109.
Provisions and Asset Quality
The company has provided unsecured loans amounting to ₹14,65,171,000 with accrued interest of ₹1,80,597,000 outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Against these, a provision of only ₹3,87,706,000 has been made. Auditors opined that these loans are doubtful of recovery and that the loss for the period is understated due to inadequate provisions. Furthermore, balances related to loans, advances, receivables, and borrowings are subject to reconciliation and confirmation, the impact of which is currently unascertainable.
