Furthermore, the monthly Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) book expanded by 21% year-on-year in June 2026, totaling Rs 1203 crore.
The increase in revenue, combined with cost control, drove operating profit up by 32.4% year-over-year to Rs 89.1 crore. This efficiency led to a margin expansion of 270 basis points year-on-year, reaching 25.6% during the quarter.
The significant growth in profit after tax (PAT) was supported by higher other income, primarily generated from gains achieved through the treasury portfolio.
