Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Consolidated quarterly revenue rose 68% to Rs 1,912.15 crore, while profit after tax increased to Rs 77.63 crore from Rs 75.36 crore. Half-year revenue reached Rs 3,808.56 crore and profit was Rs 231.06 crore, versus a Rs 1,291.05 crore loss due to prior-year exceptional charges of Rs 1,504.48 crore. Operating cash flow was Rs 418.03 crore. The auditor's review conclusion was not modified.
Revenue growth and a return to profit are positive, but weaker operating margins and higher debt-funded expansion may limit near-term gains.
