What went well

- Profit before tax increased significantly to ₹18.6 crores from ₹5.3 crores in the corresponding quarter last year, a 250.9% YoY growth.
What to watch
- A 0.8% hit to P&L in Q1 FY27 due to raw material inflation not yet fully passed on to consumers.
- A 'small hiccup' and 5-6 working days disturbance in April due to Gondal facility shift, resulting in INR 12-13 crores top line loss in the core state.
