RevenueNet profit

Watch

Revenue grew 4.2% but profit declined 13.4%, so the company kept less of each rupee of revenue as profit.

Rule PROFIT_SLOWER_THAN_REVENUE

Revenue growth per year: +7.8%over 7 years
Revenue growth: +4.2%vs last year
Net profit growth: −13.4%vs last year
Change in net profit since FY19: +50%

Net profit fell 13.4% year on year (FY2025 → FY2026).

Revenue has compounded at 7.8% a year over 7 years (₹2,962 → ₹5,022) — though FY2024 saw a one-off step-change of 62% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven — steady rather than rapid.
