The full read
Salem Erode Investments continues to bleed capital. For the financial year ended March 2026, the NBFC posted a net loss of ₹4.84 crore, marginally wider than the ₹4.72 crore loss reported in the prior year. Revenue also slipped, with total income falling 9% to ₹3.57 crore. The most pressing issue is the rapid erosion of the balance sheet. Accumulated losses have pushed the company's net worth down by about 26% from ₹1,822.96 lacs to ₹1,339.41 lacs. While the statutory auditor provided an unmodified opinion, the underlying trend is clear. The company is consuming its own equity to sustain operations. At this rate of capital depletion, the open question is how much longer the current business model can persist without an external cash injection.
