The statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026, shows total assets of ₹2,780.11 lakh, a substantial increase from ₹728.85 lakh in the previous year.

Investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of ₹1,886.73 lakh, mainly due to an increase in fixed deposits and loans to corporate entities.
