Headline numbers from the latest earnings call

₹351 Cr
Why: Revenue growth was driven by the stabilization and 98% utilization of the newly commissioned 25,000 spindles unit.
Revenue grew 9% for the 9-month period compared to the previous year.
EBITDA
₹334 Cr
Why: EBITDA growth for the 9-month period was driven by operational discipline and volume growth from new capacity.

PAT
₹13 Cr
Why: Profitability was impacted by a change in the power mix with lower renewable generation and compressed industry spreads.
PAT declined from ₹16 Cr in Q2 to ₹13 Cr in Q3 due to seasonal power costs and spread pressure.
