What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated profitability highlights the structure of the trust’s operations. While the standalone entity generated ₹10,510.64 lakh in net profit, the consolidated group reported ₹2,344.99 lakh. This difference is primarily due to the consolidation adjustments and the specific accounting treatment of the infrastructure assets held within the trust structure. The debt equity ratio for the consolidated entity stood at 1.06, slightly higher than the 1.05 recorded in the previous quarter, indicating a marginal increase in leverage relative to equity. However, the debt service coverage ratio improved to 2.49 from 2.11 in the same quarter last year, suggesting stronger cash flow coverage for debt obligations.
