AI summary

Q3 consolidated revenue rose 33.3% year on year to Rs 6,815.59 crore and net profit rose 13.5% to Rs 830.59 crore. Nine-month revenue rose 23.6% to Rs 22,371.24 crore and net profit rose 15.5% to Rs 3,202.30 crore. The margin before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation eased to 27.1% from 28.4%. Third interim dividend: Rs 0.50 per share. Comparatives were restated after a Kenya acquisition; auditors gave an unmodified review.

Likely market impact

Higher sales and the dividend may support sentiment, but profit growth lagged revenue and margins weakened, limiting near-term upside.
