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. Lease payments were 1.2% of operating profit in the first full year.

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2025, the company's revenue for that year, ₹868 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹966 Cr; the company reports a discontinued business.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2018 and Mar 2023: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the year to Mar 2026: the profit of this year or the year before includes a business the company has discontinued while its revenue does not, so the change in return on equity is not split into margin, turnover and borrowing. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2018, Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2021 and Mar 2022, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
