Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹92.8b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹22.26 in 2025. So there seems to have been a moderate uplift in sentiment following the latest results, given the upgrades to both revenue and earnings per share forecasts for next year.
