Kamdhenu Ventures, the holding company for Kamdhenu Colour and Coatings, finished FY26 with a 97% collapse in consolidated net profit. Earnings fell to ₹20 lakhs from ₹666 lakhs in the prior year. Revenue also slipped 7.8% to ₹245 crore. The fourth quarter was particularly difficult, as the company swung to a net loss of ₹267 lakhs from a profit of ₹188.5 lakhs in the year-ago period. Management attributed the quarterly reversal to higher expenses and inventory adjustments.

The results show a business struggling to maintain profitability as costs mount.
