What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated results highlights the subsidiary's critical role in the group's profitability. While the parent entity's standalone net profit stagnated at ₹220.12 lakh, the subsidiary contributed ₹854.65 lakh to the consolidated bottom line. This concentration suggests that operational efficiency and margin expansion are currently driven primarily by Oriental Foundry Private Limited, while the parent company's direct operations face revenue headwinds.
