The full read
TV Vision is in a terminal financial spiral. The broadcaster reported a standalone loss of ₹34.47 crore for FY2026, dragging its net worth to a negative ₹144.25 crore. The situation is worse than the books suggest. Statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion, noting a ₹294.43 crore insolvency claim from Punjab National Bank that the company has failed to fully account for. While TV Vision records this debt at ₹98.94 crore, the bank’s claim implies ₹195.50 crore in unrecorded interest liabilities. With ₹12.50 crore in commercial rights failing to generate any revenue and share pledges already invoked, the auditors have formally questioned the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For a firm with a market capitalization of just ₹21 crore, the path to recovery is closed. The insolvency proceedings are the next test.
