We with revenue reaching rupees 25. 16 crore reflecting an 83.6% YoY growth from rupees 13, 71 crore in FY24. The EBITDA for the year was rupees 603 crore with significant growth of 168% compared to 225 crore last year. This growth is attributed to higher order execution and our ongoing commitment to operational efficiencies resulting in an expansion of ebitda margins to 24% in FY25 up from 16.4% in FY24. In terms of paid, we saw a huge increase of 188% reaching to rupees 408 crore in FY25.

Earning per shares for the year was rupees 34 compared to rupees 12.8 per share in the previous fiscal. This year’s performance underscores our robust financial results and solid balance sheet position. While Patidar sir has already emphasized our reduction in receivable days this year even with significantly higher revenue, I would like to draw attention to additional key metrics. The company’s net worth has increased to approximately rupees11.61 crore by the end of FY25. And our interest coverage ratio has strengthened to 13.6 times in FY25 up from 11.5 times in FY24.
