However, profit before tax (PBT) and profit after tax (PAT) witnessed significant declines, with PBT down by 38 per cent to ₹1 billion and PAT falling by 39 per cent to ₹730 million, the company said in a press release.

Quarterly performance also showed positive trends in sales with Q4 FY24 recording ₹10 billion, up 9 per cent from ₹9.16 billion in Q4 FY23.
