Additionally, the reduction in finance costs from ₹45.13 lakh in Q1FY25 to ₹17.24 lakh in Q1FY26 suggests effective debt management, likely aided by the utilization of IPO proceeds for borrowing repayment. This margin expansion highlights the positive impact of the capital raise on the company’s bottom line.
