What Infomedia Press Ltd does

Infomedia Press Limited is a publicly listed Indian company incorporated in 1955 under the Indian Companies Act, with listings on the Bombay Stock Exchange (Scrip Code: 509069) and the National Stock Exchange (Scrip Code: INFOMEDIA). The company ceased all business operations in financial year 2012-13 due to commercial unviability and has since functioned as a dormant listed entity. It has no active products, services, technology infrastructure, or revenue streams; quarterly results consistently report nil sales alongside small net losses of approximately Rs 0.9-1.0 crore per quarter, sustained by inter-corporate loans from its parent.

The company is a subsidiary of Network18 Media & Investments Limited, part of the Reliance Industries conglomerate, with promoters changing to Reliance in 2014. Board composition is dominated by Network18/Reliance group executives, including the Group CFO and Group General Counsel of Network18, plus a chartered accountant as independent chairman. The company transitioned from Network18 Group to JioStar affiliation in 2025 following the Viacom18-Star India merger. It maintains a registered office in Lower Parel, Mumbai, and a manager, CFO, and company secretary who handle residual statutory and compliance obligations.

The company's economic purpose appears to be the maintenance of a listed shell vehicle within the broader Reliance media structure, with no operative go-to-market, no customer base, no distribution channels, and no marketing activities. The website is a static investor-relations page hosting annual reports and quarterly financial results for FY2022-23 through FY2026-27. Outstanding inter-corporate loans from Network18 totaling Rs 3,399.45 lakh plus accrued interest of Rs 2,044.44 lakh represent the most material balance-sheet item, with no commercial activity to service them.
