Profitability Margins

Consolidated PAT margin compressed from 35% in FY24 to 13% in FY25. Standalone Net Profit Ratio decreased from 68.28% to 46.82% YoY. The decline is primarily attributed to the absence of the one-time gain from the Aeroflex Industries IPO stake sale recorded in the previous year.
