🔍 At a Glance
A company with zero revenue, zero business, and a net loss of ₹1.88 lakh… but trading at ₹317/share with a ₹22 Cr market cap. This isn’t a business—it’s a puzzle from a CA final paper. Welcome to Lerthai Finance: formerly Marathwada Refractories, now a “finance company” that has… no financial activity.
🧱 Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Used to make refractory bricks (basically, the stuff you put in blast furnaces)
In 2019, pivoted to “financing and investment” (but didn’t say what or how)
Zero revenue since FY22
No NBFC license. No lending book. No operating website content. No clarity.
💬 The official note: “We are looking out for viable business opportunities.” Translation: “We exist. Please call us if you have an idea.”
