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 0.1% 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, GST replaced excise duty on 1 Jul 2017, and revenue before that day includes the duty. From the year to Mar 2022, the company reports a discontinued business. From the year to Mar 2023, the company's revenue for that year, ₹17,237 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹17,580 Cr.

Revenue growth is left blank for the years to Mar 2018 and Mar 2019: between the two periods excise duty was taken out of revenue when GST replaced it, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2022 and Mar 2023: 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, operating profit growth, net profit growth and earnings per share growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2022: 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.
