1 — At a Glance

FY26 revenue landed at ₹111.21 crore, up from ₹23.32 crore a year earlier — a near-fivefold jump. It is the sort of number that ordinarily announces a company arriving. Then the operating line reads minus ₹2.68 crore, an operating margin of -2.41%. Revenue quintupled and the core business lost money at the same time.

The reconciliation sits one row down: other income of ₹6.74 crore, against which the entire year’s net profit of ₹1.95 crore looks small. Take the non-operating line away and the P&L stops smiling.

Two structural facts frame the year. A scheme of amalgamation folded U R Energy (India) Private Limited into the company, effective from an appointed date of April 2024, which is why the comparatives were restated and the revenue line leapt. And the paid-up capital moved to ₹11.10 crore as fresh shares were allotted to U R Energy’s holders.

A year where the top line grows 377% while the business it describes runs at an operating loss is worth reading slowly. The rest of this entry does that.

2 — Introduction

Jhaveri Credits & Capital was incorporated in 1993 as a broking outfit — a member of the Multi Commodity Exchange and National Spot Exchange, dealing commodities in spot and futures markets. For most of its listed life it was a small financial-services name with revenues under ₹5 crore.

The recent chapters are about ownership and identity changing hands. In early 2023, the founding Jhaveri promoters signed a share purchase agreement selling their stake to Vishnukumar Vitthaldas Patel, who ran an open offer through a merchant banker. In March 2023 the company’s self-clearing membership surrender was approved, and it redirected itself toward financing, investment and broking advisory.

Then the object clause widened. In December 2023 the Memorandum of Association was altered to add manufacturing and trading of solar panels, inverters, cables and electronic components, plus engineering services for solar, wind and hybrid renewable projects. A commodities broker had written itself permission to sell hardware.

The capstone is the U R Energy amalgamation, sanctioned by the NCLT Ahmedabad Bench on March 16, 2026, with a name change to U R Energy (India) Limited approved by shareholders. The company that files these results is, in most respects that matter, a different animal from the one incorporated in 1993.

3 — Business Model: WTF Do They Even Do?

Officially, everything a financial-services licence permits: equity investing, commodities, stock SIPs, margin trading, currency derivatives, securities lending, mutual funds, loan against shares, portfolio advisory, debt securities, and portfolio management. That is a menu long enough to be a restaurant, which is usually the tell of a small firm that will do whatever a client walks in asking for.

The revenue reality is narrower and stranger than the menu. Screener’s extracted mix shows the company’s income migrated from brokerage commission — 99.9% of operations back in FY16 — to sale of securities (trading) and, latterly, sale of goods: solar panels and electronics reached 22.4% of operations in a recent year. A broker that became a trader that became, in part, a solar-panel merchant.

Interest income has become a real line too. The disclosed loan portfolio ran to ₹2,966.63 lakh, and the company lends. So the model is now three businesses stapled together: a trading book, a lending book, and a hardware line — with the U R Energy merger pulling the renewable-energy story fully in-house.

The honest description of the model is that it is a holding structure trying on outfits. A commodity broker’s licence became the chassis; solar and lending are the new bodywork. When revenue is 377% higher and the operating line is negative, the question isn’t what they can do — it’s which of these things actually makes money. The FY26 accounts don’t hand you a flattering answer.

4 — Financials Overview

Figures are consolidated, in ₹ crore.

The quarter tells its own tension. Revenue was down 8.5% against the prior March, yet the sequential comparison is a swing back to positive territory from a Q3 that had posted an operating loss of ₹8.47 crore and a net loss of ₹7.17 crore. Two adjacent quarters at ₹-8.47 crore and ₹+2.08 crore operating profit describe a book that lurches rather than compounds.
