Risks & Concerns
5
Large FY26 marked-to-market losses on listed investments (₹2,418 Cr for the year) create earnings volatility and increased effective tax rate due to non-deductibility, pressuring reported PAT and comparability.
Exceptional items including stamp duty and demerger-related costs (stamp duty ₹962 Cr included in exceptional items) materially impact PBT and could reoccur as demerger/legal issues settle, affecting 1Q FY27 comparability.
Reliance on macro CV demand continuation
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and new Labour Codes introduce regulatory and cost uncertainty (statutory impact recorded), with potential incremental liabilities once rules and implementation clarity emerges.
Fair value volatility in subsidiary investment holdings (TMF Holdings and others) may produce sizeable non-cash P&L swings and unpredictable tax impacts, increasing earnings risk despite operating cash strength.
