Financial and Operational Impact
- Going Concern: The Board and Management assert confidence in the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This is based on cited operational improvements (dedicated standby aircraft, OEM consignment stock, fleet rationalization, improved contract values) and financing measures (enhanced working capital facilities, External Commercial Borrowings).
- Reason for Losses: Losses were attributed to industry-wide supply chain disruptions affecting aircraft availability, consequent customer penalties, and the sustained depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar and Euro.
- Exceptional Items: For the year ended 31st March 2026, an exceptional item of ₹(1.56) million (₹(156.39) lakhs) was recognized related to the impact of implementing the New Labour Codes on gratuity and compensated absences.
- Write-backs: Other income for the year ended 31st March 2026 includes a write-back of ₹339.64 million (₹3,396.44 lakhs) for balances payable to related parties deemed no longer payable. Other expenses include a write-back of ₹70.44 million (₹704.38 lakhs) for similar reasons.
Capital Structure Impact
No change in paid-up equity share capital was reported for the quarter. The appointments (Chairman, CEO, Director) do not directly impact the capital structure but pertain to governance.
Auditor's Review Report
Kalyaniwalla & Mistry LLP issued a limited review report. They drew attention to the material uncertainty related to going concern (Note 4) but concluded that the use of the going concern basis was appropriate based on management's plans and forecasts. Their conclusion was not modified.
