The full read
Peninsula Land took a ₹132 crore impairment charge on its investment in Hem Infrastructure, a joint venture now in insolvency. That write-down produced a ₹153.89 crore net loss for FY26, which exceeded the year's ₹143.21 crore in operational revenue. The provision is painful but purposeful. By fully clearing the dead asset from its books, Peninsula resolved prior audit qualifications and secured a clean, unmodified opinion from S R B C & Co for the first time in several quarters. That removes a persistent governance overhang. The board also elevated promoter Nandan Piramal to Joint Managing Director and appointed a new internal auditor. The balance sheet is cleaner. The business is not.
