Its revenue from operations was Rs 2,351.16 crore during the quarter under review, against Rs 2,134.14 crore, during the same period last year.

The fiscal year ended on 31 March 2022, and revenue from operations was Rs 7,990.81 crore, against Rs 6,606.10 crore last year.

The company's board has recommended a dividend of 150%, which is Rs 15 per equity share of Rs 10 per share for 2021-22.
