The company reported a turnover of ₹3,800.3 crore and a net worth of ₹3,191.2 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

This contrasts with the previous year, where dealer sales stood at 95%. Furthermore, the concentration among top distributors decreased, with the top 10 dealers contributing 42.81% of sales to this segment in FY26, down from 59.24% in FY25.
