AI summary

Consolidated Q2 revenue rose 4.3% to Rs 3,563 crore, but Rs 339 crore exceptional charges, including a Rs 282 crore impairment and Rs 57 crore separation cost, caused a Rs 205 crore loss. H1 revenue was Rs 7,453 crore and loss Rs 13 crore versus Rs 634 crore profit earlier. Auditors highlighted the Bawri dispute and Rs 400 crore guarantees. The board declared a Rs 4 interim dividend, 200% of face value.

Likely market impact

Revenue growth was offset by one-off charges, causing a quarterly loss. Dividend supports returns, but impairments and exposures may weigh on sentiment.
