Inference
The auditor, SRBC & Co LLP, issued an unmodified review opinion on both sets of results dated 5 Nov 2026. The auditor's review also covers three subsidiaries with a combined net loss after tax of ₹(271.36) lakh for the quarter.
Standalone dividends paid in the half year were ₹10.76 crore. The filing does not say whether a dividend for the current financial year has been declared or recommended, and does not give the reason for the fall in consolidated profit attributable to owners.
