Revenue from operations was steady at Rs. 91.9 crore compared to Rs. 94.4 crore in Q4 FY25, a decline of 2.7% YoY, with one key factor being the ending of government incentives for the Khopoli Theme Park in Q1 FY26. Footfalls of 6.21 lakh were reported during the period, registering a growth of 5% on a YoY basis, driven by direct channels (Website & Walk-in) across parks. Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) stood flat at Rs. 1,230.
