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 7.0% 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 2018, the company's revenue for that year, ₹10,345 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹11,239 Cr. From the year to Mar 2020, the company's revenue for that year, ₹10,357 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹10,979 Cr; the company reports the part of the business demerged on 4 Mar 2020 as discontinued, and figures before the change include it.

Revenue growth, operating profit growth, net profit growth and earnings per share growth are 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.
