What the numbers show

The EBITDA margin contraction from 74.47% to 37.15% is particularly notable. Even as revenue declined, the margin nearly halved, indicating that operating costs did not fall proportionately with income. The swing from a net profit of ₹242 million to a net loss of ₹960 million, against an EBITDA of ₹233 million, points to significant charges below the operating line, whether from depreciation, finance costs, or other non-operating items, amplifying the impact of the revenue decline on the bottom line.
