Quarter Snapshot
Headline owners PAT of Rs.192.62 Cr (+50% YoY) is dominated by the Rs.386 Cr post-tax Nido deconsolidation gain; ex-gain PAT is negative, so earnings quality is the key caveat. The underlying story is execution against management's own targets: Capital segment returned to profit, insurance losses narrowed 74.6% YoY with Zuno turning profitable, ARC and EAAA ROEs met or exceeded guided bands, and debt fell Rs.1,194.94 Cr since March. Key FY27 markers — insurance breakeven and corporate net debt below Rs.4,000 Cr — remain on track.
