Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2018, Mar 2024 and Mar 2025: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. Debt to equity is left blank for the years to Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024 and Mar 2025: net worth is below zero, so there is no shareholders' money to set the borrowings against. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2018 and Mar 2021, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
