Results approved at the board meeting

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026, at its meeting held on October 24, 2026. The meeting ran from 11:00 AM to 2.10 PM.

Auditor's review conclusion

Suri & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued a Limited Review Report on the standalone results. The conclusion is unmodified: nothing came to their attention that causes them to believe the statement contains any material misstatement or fails to disclose what is required. The report notes that a review is substantially less in scope than an audit, and that they do not express an audit opinion.

Half-year picture (Rs. crores)

Stake in associate increased

During the quarter the company acquired 2.90 lakh shares in its associate M/s Ponnì Sugars (Erode) Limited (PSEL). This raised the effective shareholding in PSEL from 32.40% to 35.78% of its paid-up share capital, and the share of profit in the associate is computed at the revised percentage from the date of acquisition.

Update on the Servalakshmi assets

The Hon'ble NCLT, Chennai bench, by order dated 12.05.2023, approved the e-auction sale of assets of M/s. Servalakshmi Paper Limited (corporate debtor in liquidation) as a going concern in favour of the company. The sales certificate has been issued and the assets handed over. Of three appeals shared in the Hon'ble NCLAT, two were "Dismissed as withdrawn" and the remaining appeal has been heard and reserved for orders. The company says it continues to take steps for revival, refurbishment and recommencement of operations.
