The boost in profitability comes despite a marginal dip in operational revenue, which stood at ₹47,065.36 crore, down from ₹48,528.88 crore a year earlier. The profit uptick was primarily supported by lower fuel costs and a significant increase in other income.

  • Other Income: ₹755.75 crore vs ₹452.80 crore (↑67%)

Trading & Export Revenue Growth
