Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2018, Mar 2019, Mar 2023, Mar 2024 and Mar 2026: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. Debt to equity is left blank for the years to Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025 and Mar 2026: net worth is below zero, so there is no shareholders' money to set the borrowings against. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2020 and Mar 2024: 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 is left blank for the year to Mar 2020: 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. Return on equity, asset turnover and assets per rupee of net worth are left blank for the years to Mar 2021 and Mar 2022: a tenth or more of the assets on the balance sheet it is worked from are held for sale or for a demerger, so it would mix the business being kept with the part that is leaving. Change in return on equity, from the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2021, Mar 2022 and Mar 2023: a tenth or more of the assets on the balance sheet it is worked from are held for sale or for a demerger, so it would mix the business being kept with the part that is leaving. Debt to equity, receivable days, inventory days, payable days, cash conversion cycle, days, return on capital employed and working capital days are left blank for the year to Mar 2021: a tenth or more of the assets on the balance sheet it is worked from are held for sale or for a demerger, so it would mix the business being kept with the part that is leaving. Return on capital employed is left blank for the year to Mar 2022: net worth and borrowings together come to nought or less, so there is no money employed to set the operating profit against. No balance sheet is on record for the year to Mar 2018, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
