Financial Performance Highlights
Consolidated EBITDA rose to ₹252.25 million from ₹199.98 million in Q1FY26. However, EBITDA margin contracted to 4.03% from 4.54% in the prior year period, reflecting the impact of higher operational costs relative to revenue growth. On a comparable basis, EBITDA stood at ₹221 million versus ₹187 million previously. Profit before tax (PBT) increased significantly to ₹231.53 million from ₹159.45 million, aided by a sharp decline in finance costs to ₹8.50 million from ₹31.86 million.
