The auditors' review report, issued by Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants LLP, draws attention to a matter without modifying its conclusion. It refers to a SEBI order of 24 July 2024 directing the National Stock Exchange to appoint a registered valuer to value the business foregone and received under the company's joint venture agreement with a fellow subsidiary. The Securities Appellate Tribunal upheld that order, and the company's appeal is admitted before the Supreme Court. The report says the effect on the results cannot presently be determined.
What It Means
For shareholders, the filing shows higher sales but lower profit than a year ago, with costs rising faster than revenue. Compared with the previous quarter, both revenue and profit rose.
The results are unaudited and subject to limited review. The full filing, including the standalone results, is available on the National Stock Exchange website.
