Standalone Financial Performance
The company's standalone operations showed continued losses with total income remaining at ₹28.51 crore for Q3FY26, compared to ₹30.33 crore in Q3FY25. The marginal decline was primarily due to lower other income, as the company reported no revenue from operations during the quarter.

Exceptional Items Drive Losses
The quarter's performance was significantly impacted by exceptional items totaling ₹1,000 crore, representing provision for impairment in carrying value of subordinate debt and other receivables from Sadbhav Rudrapur Highway Private Limited (SRHL).
