Sharp India Reports Widened Losses and Plans Exit Amid Operational Shutdown

Sharp India Ltd reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 5.7 crore for Q4 FY26 and a full-year loss of Rs 26.4 crore, widening from Rs 19.3 crore in FY25. The company has had no operational revenue since suspending LCD TV production in FY16 and prepared its financial statements on a 'not going concern' basis due to prolonged shutdown and accumulated losses. Finance costs increased, contributing to losses, and Sharp Corporation, Japan, has agreed to sell its stake in the Indian venture.
