Additionally, net sales reached Rs 24.02 crore, reflecting a 24.7% increase compared to the average net sales of the previous four quarters.

There has been a marked increase in non-operating income, which now constitutes 253.54% of PBT, raising concerns regarding the sustainability of the business model.

In terms of quarterly performance, net sales showed a growth of 6.24% compared to the previous quarter, which is a decrease from the 66.74% growth seen in December 2024. The consolidated net profit saw a significant decline of 81.94% compared to the preceding quarter. Operating profit metrics also reflect a challenging environment, with a notable drop in profitability indicators.

Overall, AKI India has experienced an adjustment in its evaluation, reflecting the complexities of its operational performance amidst both positive developments and significant challenges.
