The full read
Gaekwar Mills is a company in name only. With zero operational revenue and negative equity of ₹84.06 crore, its FY26 results show a business that has long since ceased functioning. The net loss widened to ₹9.45 crore from ₹4.42 crore the prior year. To keep the lights on, the board has pushed the maturity of ₹35 crore in secured non-convertible debentures to March 2028. This reprieve is expensive. The company added ₹29.68 crore in new redemption premiums to the debt pile. For a firm with a market capitalization of just ₹3 crore, this is not a recovery plan. It is a delay tactic. The company has traded its long-term viability for a few more years of existence. It won't be enough.
