Financials
ConfirmedLatest audited FY (FY 2025-26, year ended 31 Mar 2026), consolidated (Source: Screener.in):
| Revenue | ₹20,074 Cr |
|---|---|
| Operating Profit | ₹3,745 Cr |
| EBITDA (derived | Op. Profit + Depreciation ₹1,361 Cr): ~₹5,106 Cr |
| Net Profit (PAT) | ₹1,721 Cr |
| Net Worth (Reserves) | ₹6,949 Cr |
| Borrowings | ₹2,561 Cr |
| Market Cap | ~₹1,59,810 Cr (as of 7 Aug 2026, share price ₹2,997) |
| ROCE | 28%, ROE: 27.7%, EPS: ₹32.25 |
Cross-check: TheCompanyCheck separately showed FY 2024-25 revenue of ₹17,353 Cr (+37% YoY) — consistent with FY26 revenue of ₹20,074 Cr representing continued (slower, ~15.7%) YoY growth. Both figures are plausible and non-conflicting once FY periods are distinguished; treat FY26 figures above as the latest.
