The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2020, part of the business was demerged on 9 Apr 2019, and figures before the change include the part that left. From the year to Mar 2026, the company's revenue for that year, ₹1,803 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹1,871 Cr; the company reports a discontinued business.

Consolidated. The last eight quarters. The latest is shaded. Net profit is the whole group's, the other owners of its subsidiaries included; P/E and ROE use the company's own share. Net margin is left blank for Mar 2026 and Jun 2026: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin.

The quarters either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the quarter to Mar 2026, the company's revenue for the year to Mar 2026, ₹1,803 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹1,871 Cr; the company reports a discontinued business.

Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year+10.4%––0.0%
3 years+6.7%––0.0%
5 years−2.7%––0.0%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add. Earnings growth and the change in P/E are left empty where earnings per share at either end of the window was a loss or is not on record. Earnings growth over 1 year is on profit divided by shares in issue at both ends: the earnings per share stated for one end does not match that year's profit and share count.
