The company also reported a substantial rise in profit-after-tax (PAT), which reached ₹108 crore, up from ₹79 crore YoY and QoQ. This strong performance was driven by continued demand for its products, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors. However, the company saw a decrease in its operating cash flow (OCF), which stood at ₹33 crore, down from ₹299 crore in the previous quarter.
