Dalmia Bharat Limited reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 205 crore for the quarter ended September 2026 (Q2 FY27), compared with a net profit of Rs 239 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, primarily due to a one-time exceptional charge arising from asset impairments and an employee separation scheme, IANS reported on October 26.

The exceptional charge totalled Rs 339 crore — yaani Rs 3.39 billion. According to the company's regulatory filing cited by IANS, Dalmia Bharat recorded an impairment loss of Rs 282 crore after reassessing the recoverable value of certain assets, largely relating to three captive power plants as the company shifts towards lower-cost renewable energy, and including impairment of a discontinued brand. A separation scheme for eligible employees at select units added a one-time expense of Rs 57 crore.
