Operational Highlights and Fire Incident Disclosure
A significant operational incident impacting the Group was a fire that occurred on July 07, 2025, at the factory premises of M/s Platinum Polymers and Additives (a subsidiary). The incident resulted in damage to property, plant, and equipment, as well as inventories.The subsidiary recognized a loss of Rs 103.35 million (excluding GST) and an insurance receivable of Rs 98.19 million based on management's estimate of the recoverable claim. As an exceptional item for FY 2025-26, a net loss of Rs 5.17 million was recognized by the subsidiary.
The company confirmed that the insurance survey and related procedures are currently ongoing. The operational impact from the fire temporarily affected operations at the subsidiary during FY 2025-26, though operations have since been partially restored.
Auditor's Review and Qualified Conclusion
PKF Sridhar & Santhanam LLP conducted a limited review of the interim financial statements. Both the consolidated and standalone results received a qualified conclusion from the auditors.Regarding the consolidated statement, the audit was qualified concerning the fire incident because the insurance survey and related procedures were still in progress, making it impossible to determine whether any adjustments were needed regarding the carrying amount of the insurance claim receivable in the absence of confirmation from the insurer.
In the standalone review, which involved a subsidiary, the conclusion was similarly qualified due to the ongoing status of the fire incident at the partnership firm. The auditors noted that based on their review and management’s assessment, no provision was required for impairment of investments made and loans given to the subsidiary, as full claim realization was anticipated upon completion of the process.
