The Company reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 164 crore on sales of Rs 725 crore in Q1 of the current financial year. This represents a significant improvement over the previous year's Q1, which saw a PAT of Rs 155 crore on sales of Rs 401 crore. Crucially, after adjusting for an exceptional Income Tax refund and interest of Rs 106 crore in the prior year, the Net Operating PAT for Q1 of the previous financial year was Rs 49 crore. This highlights a substantial 234% year-over-year increase in operating PAT, from Rs 49 crore to Rs 164 crore.

Despite incurring finance costs of approximately Rs 41.6 crore in Q1 of this financial year (compared to a nearly negligible Rs 1.8 crore in Q1 of the previous financial year due to an interest moratorium), the Company still achieved a robust PAT of Rs 164 crore. The Company is actively working towards its goal of becoming debt-free by the end of FY 2025-2026. Significant progress has already been made, with approximately Rs 2,005 crore of debt discharged in the previous financial year and an additional Rs 335 crore repaid in Q1 of this financial year and July 2025. This has reduced the outstanding bank debt to approximately Rs 1,440 crore.
