Mukta Arts Q3 Consolidated Net Loss Narrows to ₹1.45 Cr; Standalone Revenue Drops 60% YoY

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 12 Feb 2026, 06:03 PM

Mukta Arts reported a consolidated net loss of ₹1.45 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, a slight improvement from the ₹2.17 crore loss in the previous year's quarter. Standalone revenue saw a significant decline of nearly 60% YoY, falling to ₹2.21 crore, primarily due to lower income from the software (film) division. The theatrical exhibition segment remains the largest revenue contributor at ₹30.19 crore. The company continues to deal with a long-standing legal dispute regarding the Whistling Woods land, which remains sub-judice and subject to auditor qualifications.

Consolidated revenue from operations decreased 3.4% YoY to ₹46.46 crore from ₹48.10 crore.
