The full read
GG Engineering finished FY26 with a net loss of ₹45.54 lakhs, a stark reversal from the ₹768.20 lakhs profit it generated in FY25. Revenue from operations fell 6.8% to ₹16,590 lakhs, hampered by a ₹80.18 lakhs loss within its securities trading segment. The quarterly performance paints a more difficult picture, with the fourth quarter alone accounting for a ₹626.39 lakhs loss, far exceeding the ₹18.44 lakhs loss seen in the same period last year. While the company continues to await NCLT approval for its merger with Integra Essentia Ltd., the immediate challenge is the deterioration of its core financial health. The appointment of G Mansi and Associates as internal auditor for FY27 is the only administrative change noted alongside these results. The numbers confirm that the company's foray into securities trading has become a significant liability.
