Q1FY27 Financial Highlights

The top-line growth was driven by higher income from operations, which stood at ₹1,616.12 crore against ₹1,355.57 crore in the prior year period. However, the bottom line saw a slight contraction due to increased expenses and tax provisions. Consolidated EBITDA remained relatively stable at approximately ₹181.61 crore (derived from Profit Before Tax of ₹130.03 crore plus Finance Costs of ₹28.87 crore and Depreciation of ₹36.72 crore), compared to ₹187.74 crore in Q1FY26. The following table summarizes the key financial metrics:
