The full read
Sunil Agro Foods returned to profitability in FY26, posting a net profit of ₹39.71 lakhs compared to a loss of ₹109.43 lakhs in the prior year. This improvement occurred despite a contraction in revenue, which slipped to ₹195.13 crores from ₹228.90 crores. The results carry a qualified opinion from the auditor, who flagged the company’s refusal to write off a ₹97.57 lakhs receivable from Maiyas Beverage and Foods. That debtor has been under NCLT insolvency proceedings since 2019, casting doubt on the recoverability of the funds. Leadership is also shifting, as Managing Director B Shantial resigned effective May 27, 2026, while the board extended the term of CEO Pramod Kumar Jain for another three years starting November 1, 2026. The company’s ability to clear its balance sheet of legacy bad debts remains the primary test for investors.
