The full read
Kamdhenu Ventures ended FY26 with a 97% collapse in consolidated net profit, falling to ₹20 lakhs from ₹666 lakhs in the prior year. Revenue from operations also slipped 7.8% to ₹245 crore. The final quarter proved difficult, with the company swinging to a net loss of ₹267 lakhs, compared to a profit of ₹188.5 lakhs in the same period last year. Management attributed the quarterly loss to higher expenses and inventory adjustments. The standalone entity reported net income of ₹13.2 lakhs for the quarter, but this was buoyed by interest income from funds raised via a preferential warrant issue rather than core operations. This result is a material negative surprise that shifts the focus toward the underlying health of its paint manufacturing subsidiary.
