The full read
IGC Industries just posted a quarterly loss that exceeds its entire market value — and it generated no revenue to offset it. The ₹14.62 crore net loss for June 2026 is up from ₹2.64 crore in March, inflated by a ₹9.31 crore write-off of advances that the auditor tied to an Enforcement Directorate complaint. The auditor, Sarang Shivajirao Chavan and Associates, drew attention to the write-off without qualifying the report, but for a company with zero revenue and an ₹8 crore market cap, the numbers speak louder than the opinion. The ED-linked write-off effectively wiped out claims on disputed assets, and the company's prior year already carried a going concern disclaimer from the same auditor. The open question is what remains to be written off in future quarters.
Questions answered
