The operating profit (PBDIT) for the quarter is at its lowest in the last five quarters, at Rs -2.76 crore. The operating profit margin has also decreased to its lowest at -17.93%, indicating a decline in the company's efficiency.
The non-operating income for the quarter has increased to its highest at Rs 2.28 crore in the last five quarters. However, this may not be sustainable as it comes from non-business activities.
