Consolidated annual figures taken from Central Depository Services (India) Ltd.'s own filed statements — not estimates, and not restated by us. The most recent period shown is FY26 (year ended 31 Mar 2026).
Per-share figures are not restated. Shares outstanding changed from 10.45 crore to 20.90 crore in FY25, consistent with a bonus issue or stock split. Each year's EPS and book value below are as that year was filed, on that year's share count — so the per-share line falls across FY25 even where profit did not. Compare the absolute figures (EBITDA, free cash flow, total debt) and the margins across that boundary, not the per-share ones.
