Profitability improved significantly during the year, with EBITDA rising 89.6% year-on-year to Rs.7,040 Mn and Profit After Tax increasing 87.8% year-on-year to Rs.4,098 Mn, driven by a favorable product mix, higher contribution from studded jewellery, operating leverage, and disciplined cost management.
