Several adjustments are made to account for non-cash and non-operating items to determine the cash flow generated purely from core operations:

Depreciation increased significantly from ₹3,186.38 thousand in 2023 to ₹4,523.24 thousand in 2024, which is added back as it represents a non-cash charge related to asset value reduction.

After adjustments, the Operating Cash Profit Before Working Capital Changes is calculated at ₹192,748.56 thousand for 2024.

The statement then adjusts for changes in operating assets and liabilities:

Non-Current Assets showed a large cash outflow of ₹115,656.81 thousand, indicating an increase in these assets.
