During the September quarter, the company had posted a net loss of ₹7.82 crore. Its consolidated revenue from operations during the quarter under review came in at ₹667.44 crore, up from ₹587 crore in the year-ago period, marking a growth of 14%.

The company’s shares have been witnessing severe selling pressure over the past year, which has eroded significant value for investors.

Since hitting an all-time high of ₹326 in September 2023, the shares have remained in a downward spiral, closing each subsequent month lower, with the stock in January reaching its lowest level since April 2021.

At the current trading price of ₹115.53, the shares are down 64.5% from the record high. In terms of yearly performance, the stock closed 2025 with a drop of 24%, extending its annual losing streak to the second consecutive year.

In the current year so far, the stock has tanked by another 7%. The sustained crash has significantly impacted retail portfolio investors, who held a 47.6% stake at the end of the December quarter, according to Trendlyne data.
