Revenue from operations also decreased to Rs 2795.852 million from Rs 2913.066 million in the previous year's March quarter. The higher cost of raw materials in Q4 FY24, totaling Rs 1513.0 million, contributed to the profit and revenue decline compared to Rs 1482.804 million a year earlier. However, total expenses decreased to Rs 26,47.386 million from Rs 28,08.817 million in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year, SAIL's net profit increased to Rs 3,0.6667 million from Rs 2,17.653 million in FY23.
