Additionally, employee benefit expenses decreased to ₹2,555.24 lakh from ₹2,843.02 lakh in Q1FY25, indicating improved cost management despite the rise in material costs to ₹1,833.19 lakh from ₹1,324.80 lakh year-on-year.
Tax expenses for the quarter totaled ₹379.62 lakh, comprising current tax of ₹354.78 lakh and deferred tax of ₹259.83 lakh, partially offset by an income tax credit for earlier years of ₹234.99 lakh. The company’s paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹570.72 lakh. Earnings per share stood at ₹56.07, a stark contrast to the loss per share of ₹37.56 in the previous quarter.
