Consolidated financials show Zydus Lifesciences achieved a total revenue of ₹114,445 crore for the quarter, marking a 20% year-over-year growth from ₹95,084 crore.

Net profit stands at ₹24,024 crore, up from ₹19,388 crore a year ago, and EPS is reported at ₹23.16, reflecting robust profitability driven by efficient cost management.
