EBITDA (₹603.3 Cr) is core operating profit before interest, tax, and non-cash costs like depreciation—so it shows how efficiently the business runs its day-to-day operations. EBITDA Margin (6.1%) tells you that for every ₹100 of sales, the company kept about ₹6 as operating profit.

Valuation & Investment View
Following its record quarter, valuation appears supported by a structural shift toward a higher-margin FMCG mix. Execution on portfolio rationalization, distribution productivity, and marketing ROI remains key to sustaining earnings upgrades.

- Medium-term: Mix improvement, premium launches, and scale efficiencies can lift margins.
- Long-term: 50:50 oil–FMCG target could structurally reduce cyclicality and enable rerating.
