(FY23), Rs. 206.45 cr. / Rs. 34.44 cr. (FY24), Rs. 322.58 cr. / Rs. 28.13 cr. (FY25).

Though it posted growth in its top lines for the reported periods, its bottom line posted inconsistency. For FY25, it posted lower net profit of Rs. 28.13 cr., and for 9M-FY26, though the top line is Rs, 236.50 cr. it posted bumper profit of Rs. 38.69 cr. in a pre-IPO period, that not only raise eyebrows, but also concern over its sustainability going forward. Despite higher other income for FY25, it marked lower net following extra-ordinary item of Rs. 16.97 cr. Its contingent liability stood at Rs. 61.64 cr. as of December 31, 2025, that raises alarm.
