| II. | Other information | |||||
| 1. | Reasons of loss or inadequate profits | During FY 2024-25, there was significant drop in BPM operating revenues primarily due to reduction in revenue relating to low margin onshore business. Some onshore clients have migrated to high margin offshore delivery locations, in line with HGS strategy of growing offshore business. On a Standalone basis, there was reduction in Other Income due to drop in interest income. Further, tax expenses has increased primarily on account of additional deferred tax expense. Additionally, FY 2024-25 presented challenges amid global uncertainties and elongated client decision cycles, which impacted financial momentum. Though the Company has incurred loss on Standalone basis, however, the Company has earned profit of Rs. 100.7 crores on Consolidated basis during FY 2024-25. |
