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.

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2024, the company reports a discontinued business.

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 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. Net margin is left blank for the year to Mar 2024: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin. Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Mar 2025: the filing's earnings per share does not match the profit it states, and cannot be multiplied back into the owners' profit because the period is a loss, which leaves no share to compare with the company's other periods. Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Mar 2026: 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.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024 and Mar 2025: 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 2021 and Mar 2022: net worth is below zero, so there is no shareholders' money to set the borrowings against. Return on capital employed is left blank for the years to Mar 2021 and Mar 2022: net worth and borrowings together come to nought or less, so there is no money employed to set the operating profit against. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the year to 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 and operating profit growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2024: between the two periods 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 year to Mar 2026: 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 year to Mar 2026: 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 2026: 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. 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.
