From Apr 2019 leases sit on the balance sheet: rent is charged as depreciation and interest instead, so operating profit and total assets step up with nothing about the business having changed. Borrowings here leave lease liabilities out. Lease payments were 49.3% of operating profit in the first full year.

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2025, the company's revenue for that year, ₹5,609 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹11,364 Cr; the company reports the part of the business demerged on 22 May 2025 as discontinued, and figures before the change include it.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2021, Mar 2025 and Mar 2026: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2025 and Mar 2026: the profit of this year or the year before includes a business the company has discontinued while its revenue does not, so the change in return on equity is not split into margin, turnover and borrowing. Revenue growth and operating profit growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2025: between the two periods the company restated its earlier figures and the company began reporting a business as discontinued, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2017 and Mar 2018, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
