Megamont pivots to trading, posts ₹601 cr revenue after zero-base year
The company, formerly V.R. Woodart, turned a ₹6.22 cr profit in FY26 following the November 2025 acquisition of two trading subsidiaries.
What's new
- Megamont reported ₹601.18 cr in revenue and ₹6.22 cr in profit for FY26.
- Performance follows the November 2025 acquisition of Nidimo Mont and Parent Mont International.
- The company issued 1.40 crore equity shares on a preferential basis to fund expansion.
Why this matters
The company has effectively abandoned its legacy operations to become a trading house for stainless steel and petroleum products. While the turnaround from zero revenue is stark, the standalone entity remains loss-making at ₹0.90 cr, placing the entire burden of performance on the newly acquired subsidiaries.
What we're watching
- Sustainability of trading margins in the stainless steel and petroleum sectors.
- Integration progress of the two wholly owned subsidiaries.
- Utilization of the 1.40 crore shares issued for expansion.
The full read
Megamont Ltd. has completed its first full year as a trading house, reporting ₹601.18 crore in consolidated revenue and ₹6.22 crore in net profit for FY26. This is a total reversal from the prior year, when the company recorded zero revenue and a loss of ₹0.13 crore. The shift follows the November 2025 acquisition of Nidimo Mont Private Ltd. and Parent Mont International Private Ltd., which now house the company's stainless steel and petroleum trading operations. While the consolidated figures show a clear path to scale, the standalone entity remains a drag, reporting a loss of ₹0.90 crore. To support this new direction, the company issued 1.40 crore equity shares on a preferential basis. The pivot is complete. Now, the company must prove it can generate consistent margins in the volatile commodities trading sector.
