The full read
CHL Ltd closed FY26 with a standalone net profit of ₹16.19 crore on total income of ₹109.42 crore.
It is a massive adjustment.
The real story sits in the balance sheet of its Tajik subsidiary, CJSC CHL International, where an independent valuation of a building resulted in a ₹529.07 crore increase in carrying value, pushing the asset to ₹673.55 crore. This accounting move is worth more than three times the company's entire market capitalization. Meanwhile, the company is still working to implement a USD 34 million one-time settlement with EXIM Bank. The scale of the revaluation relative to the company's size and the weight of the pending bank settlement are the primary factors for investors to weigh. The revaluation reserve has absorbed the gain, but the underlying litigation remains a live issue.
