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 0.4% 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 2020, the company's revenue for that year, ₹175 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹165 Cr.

Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Mar 2020: the filing's earnings per share does not match the profit it states, and cannot be multiplied back into the owners' profit because no shareholding filing near the period end checks the filing's share count.

Revenue growth and operating profit growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2020: between the two periods the company restated its earlier figures, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out.
