The full read

Palco Metals posted consolidated revenue of ₹29,318 lakhs for FY26, a rise from the ₹24,596 lakhs reported in the prior year. Net profit for the period edged up to ₹640 lakhs from ₹632 lakhs. These consolidated figures are driven by the performance of its wholly owned subsidiary, Palco Recycle Industries. The parent company, however, remains a different story. On a standalone basis, Palco Metals recorded a net loss of ₹39 lakhs, maintaining the same trajectory as the previous year. For a company with a market capitalization of just ₹52 crores, the group's ability to generate nearly ₹293 crores in annual revenue is the primary takeaway. The audit opinion for both sets of financials is unmodified. The business is effectively a vehicle for its subsidiary, as the standalone entity shows no signs of moving out of its dormant, loss-making state.
