Consolidated Financial Performance
At the consolidated level, the Group reported revenue from operations of INR 48,873 Lakhs for FY26, up from INR 44,285 Lakhs in FY25. However, profitability was impacted by an exceptional charge of INR 1,589 Lakhs arising from the statutory impact of the four new Labour Codes notified by the Government of India. This exceptional item comprised gratuity of INR 1,446 Lakhs and long-term compensated absences of INR 143 Lakhs.
Consequently, consolidated net profit after tax fell to INR 81 Lakhs from INR 2,431 Lakhs in the prior year. Total expenses increased to INR 47,250 Lakhs from INR 41,280 Lakhs, driven by higher employee benefits expense of INR 23,314 Lakhs and other expenses of INR 21,972 Lakhs. EBITDA declined to INR 4,058 Lakhs from INR 6,512 Lakhs.
