Here is a summary of the Cash Flow Statement for the years 2024 and 2023:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities: The company experienced a net cash outflow of ₹9,238.83 crore, an increase from ₹6,918.52 crore in the previous year. Despite a profit before tax of ₹960.55 crore, cash flows were heavily influenced by significant adjustments and working capital changes. Major outflows included increases in loans, trade receivables, and other financial assets, which more than offset cash inflows from interest and gains. The result was substantial net cash used in operating activities.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities: There was a net cash outflow of ₹129.79 crore in 2024, an improvement from the previous year's outflow of ₹474.13 crore. The primary outflows were for purchasing property, plant, and equipment, and investments. These were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of investments and interest received, indicating a reduced but ongoing investment in capital and financial assets.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities: The company generated a net cash inflow of ₹8,717.26 crore, up from ₹7,268.30 crore in 2023. Significant inflows came from issuing borrowings and debt securities, as well as proceeds from issuing compulsorily convertible preference shares. These inflows were partly used for repaying debt securities and borrowings and paying dividends. This robust inflow reflects strong financing activities that helped mitigate the cash outflows from operating and investing activities.

Overall Cash Position: The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the year was ₹651.36 crore, compared to a smaller decrease of ₹124.35 crore the previous year. At the end of the year, cash and cash equivalents were ₹98.78 crore, down from ₹750.14 crore, indicating a significant reduction in liquidity due to heavy cash outflows.
