The company's revenue from operations remained nearly constant at Rs 1,908.77 crore, compared to Rs 1,934.72 crore from the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, its total expenses reduced by 3.28 percent on a year-on-year basis, landing at Rs 1,739.66 crore.

Managing Director Alok Gupta attributes the company's overall annual performance, which saw a 13 percent rise in net profit to Rs 220.11 crore, to the accelerated growth of its premium and luxury product portfolios. He cited strategic investments and disciplined cost management as key drivers, anticipating further growth in the upcoming financial year.
