Abhiraj Choksey: See of course, while the quarter did include a favorable timing benefit, it was not purely incidental.

So, as far as realization is concerned, in our kind of business, as you can see, in spite of lower volumes in Q1, we have higher realization. You know, the flip side has also been true where we have had higher volume and lower realization. So, really hard to predict the net realization.

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Evidence, freshness and limitations

What does the TickerSutra score mean?

The score ranks captured evidence across financial quality, growth, moat and margins, regulatory catalysts, governance, institutional trend and valuation comfort. It is a research-prioritization tool—not a buy recommendation or price target.

Which sources support this page?

Financial history, ownership and pledge data, NSE and BSE filings, annual reports and available earnings-call transcripts are combined here. Use the source trail and original exchange document before relying on a decision-critical fact.

Why can an item be unresolved?

Unresolved means the current captured source window did not provide enough evidence for that check. It does not establish that a risk or relationship is absent.
