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 0.2% 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 2020, the company's revenue for that year, ₹2,759 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹2,833 Cr.

Materials, employee costs and other expenses are shown for the years they add up to operating expenses; for the years to Mar 2017 and Mar 2018 they do not, so they are left blank. Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Mar 2017: the filing's earnings per share does not match the profit it states, and cannot be multiplied back into the owners' profit because a split, bonus or rights issue between the start of the period and the filing changed the share count the earnings per share is on. Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Mar 2018: the filing's earnings per share does not match the profit it states, and cannot be multiplied back into the owners' profit because the share it leaves the other owners is more than 10 points from the share the company's other periods state.
