The full read
Balurghat Technologies reported a quarterly net profit of ₹4.61 crore for the period ended March 31, 2026, a sharp reversal from the ₹3.11 crore loss in the prior quarter. Annual revenue climbed to ₹120.08 crore, up from ₹87 crore in the previous fiscal year. Despite this growth, the company's full-year profit remains thin at ₹0.55 crore. The board also appointed Mrs. Shweta as an Independent Director for a five-year term following the resignation of Mrs. Geetika Khandelwal. The most critical factor remains the ₹57.84 crore corporate guarantee claim from IDBI Bank. This contingent liability is nearly triple the company's ₹22 crore market capitalization. While the earnings recovery is a welcome development, the scale of this litigation risk continues to define the company's financial profile.
