Consolidated revenue for the quarter stands at ₹7,547 crore, reflecting a 4.8% year-over-year growth.

The EBITDA margin has exhibited robust performance at 92.7%.

Net profit for the quarter surged to ₹4,003 crore, up 159.9% year-on-year. This marked increase can be attributed to strong operational efficiencies, significant collections against overdue receivables, and improved cost management.
