From Apr 2019 leases sit on the balance sheet: rent is charged as depreciation and interest instead, so operating profit and total assets step up with nothing about the business having changed. Borrowings here leave lease liabilities out.

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2026, the company's revenue for that year, ₹26 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹31 Cr.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2024 and Mar 2025: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. Revenue growth is left blank for the year to Mar 2026: between the two periods the company restated its earlier figures, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2017 and Mar 2018, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
