The full read
GTN Textiles recorded a standalone net loss of ₹12.78 crore for FY26. A ₹10.40 crore impairment on its Patspin India stake did the damage. That write-down was almost as large as the company's total annual revenue of ₹10.23 crore. The charge pushed total loss to ₹21.78 crore and drove other equity to negative ₹35.90 crore, from negative ₹4.23 crore a year earlier. The company, now a cotton yarn trader, has sold 25.08 acres of land and is finalising the sale of the last 0.63 acres for about ₹2.50 crore. For a nano-cap with an ₹11 crore market value, the impairment isn't a footnote. It's the entire year's story.
