Quarterly Financial Snapshot (Q ended June 30, 2026)​

The following table details TCI Finance Limited's performance for the current quarter compared to previous periods.

Investment and Contingency Exposures​

The company reported substantial exposures stemming from loans, guarantees, and investments in associated entities. TCI Finance held aggregate corporate guarantees to the lenders of Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited (AJVPL) and its subsidiary Gati Bhasmey Limited amounting to Rs. 25,619.80 Lakhs in earlier years.

Of these guarantees, certain lenders invoked claims on the company aggregating to Rs. 17,820.89 Lakhs during the financial year 2019-20. The company had previously provisioned ₹7,798.91 Lakhs against this claim, based on an estimated basis considering the disputed nature of the invocation.

Regarding investment activities, a stock split occurred concerning Allcargo Gati Limited (formerly GATI Limited). Ten equity shares held by the company were subdivided into 63 equity shares following the corporate action, increasing the total number of shares from 284,838 to 1,794,479.

The company also detailed events related to security taken on borrowings. Lenders who had sold shares that were given as additional security by Mahendra Kumar Agarwal and Manish Agarwal Benefit Trust recognized a liability in favor of the guarantors amounting to Rs. 364.25 Lakhs, representing the loan extinguished by the sale proceeds. Of this amount, the company paid ₹206.37 Lakhs, leaving a balance outstanding of Rs. 157.88 Lakhs as at June 30, 2026. During the current period, lenders invoked shares guaranteed by Mr. Mahendra Kumar Agarwal and realized an amount of Rs. 38 Lakhs, for which TCI Finance recognized a corresponding liability in favor of Mr. Mahendra Kumar Agarwal.

Going Concern Status and Regulatory Matters​

The company highlighted that adverse developments related to its loans, guarantees, and investments had substantially affected operations and indicated uncertainties regarding the going concern status. Management stated that it is currently identifying various alternatives and new areas for potential revival. Despite this, financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

In connection with regulatory oversight, the company was directed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to surrender its Certificate of Registration (CoR) for voluntary deregistration as an NBFC due to non-maintenance of the minimum Net Owned Funds (NOF). The matter subsequently proceeded through the High Court of Telangana, where an interim stay on coercive action by the RBI was granted.

The Statutory Auditors provided a qualified opinion in their audit report concerning claims on the company by lenders of AJVPL and the going concern preparation. The auditors noted that, given the facts regarding the invoked guarantees, the financial statements prepared on a going concern basis were not appropriate.
