Setco Automotive Board Approves Q3 FY26 Results, Appoints New Internal Auditors
Setco Automotive approved unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. Standalone profit was ₹16 Lakhs for the quarter and ₹134 Lakhs for nine months. Consolidated loss stood at ₹5,718 Lakhs for the quarter and ₹14,069 Lakhs for nine months. M/s. Mahesh Udhwani & Co. were appointed as Internal Auditors for FY27.
The approval of financial results and appointment of auditors are routine. However, the SEBI order against directors and the 'going concern' issues highlighted by auditors for subsidiaries indicate potential medium-term risks.
The announcement contains both routine financial results and operational updates, alongside significant regulatory actions and financial concerns highlighted by auditors, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Setco Automotive Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on February 13, 2026. The Board approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, along with the limited review report from the statutory auditors.
The Board also considered and approved the appointment of M/s. Mahesh Udhwani & Co. as the Internal Auditors for the financial year 2026-27. Additionally, the Board reviewed and approved various policies and codes of conduct required under SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, including policies on Materiality of Events, Archival, Code of Conduct for Directors and Senior Management, Related Party Transactions, Preservation of Documents, Whistle Blower/Vigil Mechanism, Nomination and Remuneration, Board Diversity, Payments to Non-Executive Directors, Familiarisation Programme for Independent Directors, Material Subsidiaries, and Code of Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information, and Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading.
The financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, showed a profit of ₹16 Lakhs and ₹134 Lakhs respectively on a standalone basis, and a loss of ₹5,718 Lakhs and ₹14,069 Lakhs respectively on a consolidated basis.
The auditors' report highlighted several matters, including the company not charging interest on unsecured loans from subsidiaries and the impairment in the value of investments. A significant point was the SEBI Order dated February 5, 2026, imposing penalties and market access restrictions on certain directors and ex-officials for alleged non-compliance with SEBI regulations related to past related party transactions. The company and concerned directors are evaluating the order and planning to file an appeal.
The consolidated results also drew attention to the material uncertainty related to going concern for subsidiaries due to accumulated losses and negative net worth. Furthermore, the extension of tenor for non-convertible debentures, initially due for redemption in September 2025, was extended to March 31, 2026.
