This represents an 11 per cent sequential expansion compared to the preceding quarter, indicating stabilization across apparel retail order books. However, macroeconomic complexities, evolving international tariff regimes, and persistent geopolitical conflicts created systemic headwinds throughout the twelve-month period. Consequently, full-year consolidated profit after tax contracted 26 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 178 crore, down from Rs 241 crore in FY25, even as annual operational revenue managed a 4 per cent gains to reach Rs 13,110 crore.
