The financial results were qualified by auditors regarding the non-recognition of an impairment loss of ₹663 lakhs on an investment in a subsidiary in the standalone results.

Additionally, auditors noted the discontinuation of the accounting practice to defer off-season sugar expenditure as of April 1, 2025, which has no impact on the full financial year.
