Thin operating conversion in Q1FY27
The standalone business retained only Rs 6.73 cr as operating profit from Rs 213.03 cr of revenue. That translates into a 3.16% operating margin, leaving limited room between operating earnings and the below-operating charges.
Operating earnings carried the profit
Other income of Rs 0.31 cr was small compared with the Rs 5.30 cr profit before tax, indicating little non-operating support to reported earnings.
