Consolidated H1 FY25 Highlights:
- Net Debt to Equity reduced to 4x as on 30th September 2024, as compared to 2.2x as on March 31, 2024
- Cash Flow from operations has improved to ₹154 Crore in H1FY25 as compared to ₹22 Crore in H1FY24
The move to shift some operating leases to financing leases indicates a longer term lock in with some assets, besides bringing lease costs on-balance sheet rather than off balance sheet. Thus, this should be a short term impact on costs before normalising again.
