Standard Batteries reported a standalone net loss of ₹13.66 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of ₹13.61 lakh in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year, according to the company's unaudited financial results approved by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2026. The company's performance reflects a period of operational challenges with zero revenue from operations during the quarter, marking a continuation of its non-operational status regarding core trading activities. The Board approved the results at a meeting in Kolkata, with statutory auditors V. Singhi & Associates issuing a limited review report confirming compliance with Indian Accounting Standards and SEBI Listing Regulations.
The company recorded zero revenue from operations for both Q1FY26 and the corresponding quarter of the previous year, as detailed in the latest financial results. This absence of revenue generation indicates that Standard Batteries has not been able to generate any income from its core business operations during the reporting period. The company's total income for the quarter stood at ₹0.08 lakh, derived entirely from other income including interest or miscellaneous receipts, which represents a decline from ₹0.24 lakh reported in Q1FY25. The minimal other income is insufficient to offset the company's fixed cost structure, leading to the sustained net loss position.
Despite the absence of operational revenue, Standard Batteries incurred total expenses of ₹13.74 lakh during Q1FY26, leading to the net loss of ₹13.66 lakh. Employee benefits expense accounted for ₹6.58 lakh, while other expenses stood at ₹7.16 lakh, as reported in the company's financial statements. There were no finance costs or depreciation charges recorded for the quarter. The near-parity between current expenses (₹13.74 lakh) and prior-year figures (₹13.85 lakh) indicates stable fixed cost outflows despite the absence of top-line growth. The company has not recognized any deferred tax assets due to unabsorbed depreciation and carry-forward losses, citing insufficient future taxable income prospects.
As of the end of Q1FY26, the company's paid-up equity share capital remained at ₹51.71 lakh, while reserves excluding revaluation reserves stood at ₹44.10 lakh as of March 31, 2026, according to the latest financial data. The company operates in a single business segment and stated that segment reporting requirements under Ind AS 108 are not applicable. The net loss per equity share was ₹0.26, unchanged from the previous quarter and year-ago period, indicating consistent dilution of shareholder value despite the company's efforts to maintain operational continuity.
