The earnings per share (EPS) also reflect this trend, recorded at a loss of ₹1.69 in Q2FY26, down from a loss of ₹1.49 in Q1FY26 and a profit of ₹4.32 in Q2FY25.

Compared to Q2FY25, where expenses were ₹437.96 crores, there is a substantial YoY increase of 26.2%. Despite the increase in total income, the expenses have also risen, impacting the company's profitability margins. The tax expense for Q2FY26 was ₹1.07 crores, a reduction from ₹1.45 crores in Q1FY26 and significantly lower than the ₹2.50 crores reported in Q2FY25, representing decreases of 26.2% QoQ and 57.2% YoY. This reduction in tax expense could be due to lower taxable income resulting from the reported losses. The overall operating metrics indicate heightened operational costs, which, alongside revenue and profitability data, provide insights into the company's financial operations for the quarter.
