Note: In FY24, the Company had changed its accounting policy w.r.t. government grants, which were earlier included under ‘Other Income’, however from the current year such government grants are presented under ‘net of employee benefit expenses’ to showcase appropriate representation of financial statements. Accordingly, this change is applied retroactively to the previous year, does not affect the profit, earnings per share, or opening retained earnings as of April 1, 2023.
