AI summary

Q2 standalone revenue was Rs 131.05 crore, down 10%, and profit after tax Rs 24.11 crore, down 45%. Consolidated Q2 profit after tax was Rs 25.10 crore, down 7%, while six-month profit was Rs 54.56 crore, up 12%. The Gaming Act cut investment values by Rs 378.34 crore standalone and Rs 459.52 crore group-wide, taking holdings to nil and reducing reserves. Auditors flagged Rs 23,207.30 crore of GST demand notices; no provision was made.

Likely market impact

Lower standalone profit and the investment value cut may pressure sentiment and equity. The GST demand adds uncertainty despite no provision booked.
