Dalal Street Investments

What Dalal Street Investments does

Dalal Street Investments Limited is a BSE-listed advisory and consultancy services firm headquartered in Mumbai, India. Incorporated on 18 November 1977, the company originally operated as a Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC) registered with the Reserve Bank of India under certificate No.-13.00567. On 11 September 2018 it ceased its NBFC operations and pivoted to a pure-play advisory and consultancy model, which it has maintained since.

The firm offers a single unified service line covering strategy, capital-needs assessment, marketing, organization, operations, digital transformation, analytics, corporate finance, and mergers and acquisitions advisory for business clients across all industries and geographies. It operates with a lean team of 1–10 employees out of a registered office at 409 Dev Plaza, S.V. Road, Andheri West, Mumbai, and has no proprietary technology platform, products, apps, or APIs. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via client engagements, with no disclosed reseller, partner, or marketplace channels and no named customer logos or case studies.

The revenue model is professional-services fees billed on a project or engagement basis. FY2026 annual sales were Rs 0.61 crore (approximately $73K USD at prevailing INR/USD), up 10.91% from Rs 0.55 crore in the prior year, while the company swung from a Rs 0.14 crore net profit to a Rs 0.01 crore net loss for the full year, with quarterly results showing meaningful volatility (e.g., a Rs 0.18 crore loss in Q3 FY2026 followed by a Rs 0.13 crore profit in Q4 FY2026). Marketing is limited to BSE regulatory filings, statutory newspaper publications, and a basic corporate website — there is no app, no API, and no disclosed pricing schedule.
