Interest of Rs 118.57 cr and depreciation of Rs 12.98 cr took the pre-tax loss to Rs 234.11 cr. Other income of Rs 28.09 cr did not offset these charges, and the company reported a net loss of Rs 234.4 cr, or EPS of Rs -1.69. The results were filed after market close.
Operating margin was deeply negative
