AI summary

Profit after tax fell 37.9% to Rs 3,479 crore; shareholder profit dropped 58.7% to Rs 1,798 crore after a Rs 2,067 crore exceptional loss, including a Rs 1,407 crore power receivable write-off. Half-year operating cash flow was Rs 16,226 crore. Auditor review was unmodified but highlighted Cambay and short-seller issues.

Likely market impact

Higher revenue and cash flow are positive, but the exceptional loss and legal uncertainties may weigh on sentiment and the share price.
