The short read
Radiant Cash Management reported flat standalone revenue for FY26 with growth in e-commerce, petroleum and organized retail offset by loss of railway regions and an e-commerce logistics client. Consolidated PAT fell to INR280 million from INR470 million, largely due to losses in the fintech subsidiary Radiant Acemoney following the end of the PIDF subsidy in December 2025. Management outlined cost reduction measures, cross-selling initiatives between the cash management and valuable logistics businesses, and targets to bring both Radiant Valuable Logistics and Acemoney to breakeven in the first half of the current financial year.
