📰 Full Story
India’s markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), said in an interim order on June 3, 2026 that Bengaluru-based Rajesh Exports overstated group revenues by about 15.15 trillion rupees ($158.3 billion) across fiscal years 2020-21 to 2024-25.
SEBI said some 97–99% of consolidated revenue was attributed to overseas subsidiaries — notably Switzerland’s Valcambi SA — while those entities’ standalone audited accounts showed negligible revenues.
The regulator flagged nonexistent or unverifiable entries, including identical sales and purchase records with Affluence Shares and Stocks Pvt Ltd that the counterparty denied, and alleged routing of company funds (around 3.39 billion rupees) to promoter Rajesh Mehta’s personal accounts and 9.26 billion rupees moved without required approvals or disclosures.
SEBI estimated shareholder wealth erosion of about 127.26 billion rupees, has barred the company and its owner from market participation pending investigation, and ordered cooperation and further forensic review.
The probe was triggered by a shareholder complaint in March 2024 and involved forensic auditors and requests for extensive cross-border financial disclosures.
