Cash Flow from Operating Activities:

Finance costs decreased to ₹63.15 million from ₹100.89 million, indicating reduced interest expenses. The write-off of bad debts rose to ₹21.52 million, up from ₹8.81 million, reflecting higher credit losses.

Additionally, the company saw a profit on the sale of fixed assets and a reduction in exchange rate gains.

After adjusting for working capital changes, the company’s operating profit before working capital changes increased to ₹1,251.02 million from ₹885.41 million.

Despite these fluctuations, the company generated ₹682.88 million from operations, up from ₹604.46 million. After accounting for direct taxes paid, net cash flow from operating activities improved significantly to ₹710.59 million from ₹388.73 million.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities:
The cash flow from investing activities turned negative with a net outflow of ₹-678.67 million compared to a positive inflow of ₹238.14 million in 2023. This shift was driven by substantial inter corporate loans given out, amounting to ₹-2,080.90 million, compared to ₹-1,040.15 million in the previous year. Although the company received ₹1,545.95 million in inter corporate loans back, this was less than the previous year’s ₹1,300.19 million.

Other notable activities included the purchase of fixed assets and capital advances of ₹-28.06 million and a reduction in investments. The company also received interest income of ₹86.78 million and minor amounts in dividends, which somewhat mitigated the cash outflows. Overall, investing activities had a net outflow as substantial loans given out and asset purchases overshadowed inflows.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities:
Financing activities also saw a negative cash flow of ₹-77.84 million compared to ₹-615.90 million in 2023. The reduction in outflows was due to lower repayments of borrowings (₹-23.97 million vs. ₹-520.78 million) and decreased interest payments (₹-34.57 million vs. ₹-75.14 million). The company paid a similar amount in dividends on equity shares, totaling ₹-19.30 million.

Net Increase/(Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Overall, the company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by ₹-45.92 million during the year, contrasting with an increase of ₹10.97 million in the previous year. Despite positive cash flow from operating activities, significant outflows from investing and financing activities led to a reduction in cash reserves. Consequently, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year were ₹27.22 million, down from ₹73.14 million at the beginning of the year.
