31 Mar 2026 to 31 Mar 2024₹ Crore
All figures in ₹ Crore unless stated otherwise. Source: restated financials disclosed in the offer documents.
Profits have scaled from ₹305.34 Cr to ₹407.84 Cr over two years; the borrowings-to-net-worth ratio has climbed to about 0.39. For investors, the trend matters more than any single year, steady compounding with contained leverage is what institutional bidders typically reward, while a late spike in borrowings deserves scrutiny against the stated objects of the issue.

Return on Net Worth13.95%
Debt / Equity0.39
NAV per share94.78
Reading these numbers. RoE and RoCE measure how efficiently the business turns shareholder capital into profit; anything in double digits is respectable, mid-twenties plus is strong. A debt-to-equity ratio well below 1 signals a balance sheet that does not depend on lenders. NAV per share anchors the book value of your bid, while price-to-book tells you how many rupees the issue is charging for each rupee of that book, compare it with listed peers in the same sector before deciding whether the premium is justified.
