Standalone net profit rose 1.2% YoY to ₹15.80 crore, slightly faster than standalone total income, which rose 0.6%. Profit before tax was ₹19.67 crore against ₹22.50 crore a year earlier, and tax expense fell to ₹3.86 crore from ₹6.88 crore, so the tax rate on profit before tax was 19.6% against 30.6% a year earlier.
Standalone other income was ₹1.36 crore, up 23.6% from ₹1.10 crore, and equal to 6.9% of standalone profit before tax. Standalone depreciation of ₹6.13 crore compares with ₹9.83 crore a year earlier; the notes give the same method change and the same ₹6.90 crore quarterly reduction as the consolidated statement.
Consolidated and standalone net profit are both ₹15.80 crore for the quarter.
Inference
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and half year ended 30 Sep 2026 at a meeting held on 02 Nov 2026. Sarda Soni Associates LLP issued limited review reports on both sets of results; a limited review is not an audit, and the auditors express no audit opinion.
The filing does not say whether a dividend has been declared for the quarter or half year, why the depreciation method was changed beyond the statement that it is a change in accounting estimate, or what the reduction in depreciation is in the consolidated statements beyond the standalone figure. Readers wanting those points would need to look to later disclosures.
