What the Numbers Show

The explanatory statement accompanying the notice highlights a sharp turnaround in profitability. Net profit surged to ₹655.62 lakh in FY26, a significant improvement from ₹186.90 lakh in FY25 and a loss of ₹113.20 lakh in FY24. This recovery coincides with revenue growth from ₹8,935.34 lakh in FY24 to ₹11,737.37 lakh in FY26. The proposed salary hikes for top management represent a small fraction of this improved profit base, suggesting the increases are aligned with recent operational gains rather than fixed overhead expansion.
