  • The company reported the lowest receivable days and net working capital days in the past five years, indicating improved operational efficiency.
  • Gross margins exceeded 70% for the first time in the company's history, driven by lower raw material costs and higher-margin digital revenues.

Negative
  • Despite revenue growth, the company reported a net loss of ₹256 million for the first nine months of FY2025.

  • There is a risk of paper price volatility, which could impact future gross margins.
