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 5.4% 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, ₹927 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹911 Cr.
