Management attributed revenue growth to diversification of the business mix and recurring consumable revenues.

In the second half of FY26, consolidated operating income was Rs 476.1 mn, up 12.41 per cent year on year, and EBITDA was Rs 64.3 mn, up 19.24 per cent, delivering an EBITDA margin of 13.43 per cent.
