It also received a tax credit of ₹0.2 crore that year, which is why tax is missing from the bar.
On the money its owners have put in
It earns ₹1 a year on every ₹100 its owners have invested.
Bank FD ~₹6–7

That figure is called return on equity (ROE). Under ₹12 is a thin return for the risk of owning shares. For comparison, a bank fixed deposit pays roughly ₹6–7.
Does the profit turn into cash?
For every ₹100 of profit it reported, ₹-149 actually came in as cash.
Profit it reported₹5.0 Cr
Cash its business brought in−₹7.4 Cr
Over the last 3 years: ₹5.0 crore of profit but only −₹7.4 crore of cash. A wide gap like this is worth understanding before trusting the profit figure.
04Is the price high or low?
You pay ₹56 for every ₹1 of profit it makes in a year.
This is the P/E ratio: share price divided by a year's profit per share. A P/E of 56 means buyers are paying for about 56 years of today's profit up front.
The share price over the past year
It is 21% below its highest price of the past year and 24% above its lowest.
05Who owns it?
Its founders and parent group own 57 of every 100 shares — they control the company.
If the company were split into 100 equal shares, this is who would hold them. 4,999 people and institutions hold its shares.
As filed for the quarter ending 30 Jun 2026. Arrows show the change since the quarter before, in percentage points.
06What is going well, and what to watch
One thing going well, three things worth watching.
Picked out of the numbers above by fixed rules — the same rules for every company — so nothing here is somebody's opinion.
Going well
- Has almost no debt — it is not at the mercy of lenders.
Worth watching
- Sales fell 39% in the latest financial year.
- Sales have been shrinking — 22% a year.
- Thinly traded — only about ₹1 lakh of shares change hands a day, so buying or selling can move the price.
07What happened lately?
Latest quarter: sales up 261%, profit down 23%.
Apr–Jun 2026 is the most recent quarter it has reported. Each figure is compared with the same three months a year earlier, because many businesses sell more in some seasons than others.
