Despite this, the company has shown positive financial performance in the quarter, with a score of 14, which is a significant improvement from the previous score of 4 in the last three months.

The Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter is also the highest at Rs -2.57 crore and has grown each quarter in the last five quarters. This shows a very positive trend in the company's near-term PAT.

In terms of sales, the company has achieved its highest net sales of Rs 90.66 crore in the last five quarters, with a positive trend in the near term. The net sales have also grown at a rate of 24.7% over the average net sales of the previous four quarters, which is a positive sign for the company's sales performance.

Lastly, the company has shown an increase in profitability, with the highest earnings per share (EPS) of Rs -1.46 in the last five quarters. This indicates that the company has created higher earnings for its shareholders.

Overall, South India Paper Mills has shown a positive financial performance in the quarter ending March 2024, with improvements in key financial indicators. However, investors should consider the 'Strong Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO before making any investment decisions.
