What to track next

With FY26 results now on record, investors will watch for updates on profitability trends given the quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year differences reported across standalone and consolidated numbers, and any further disclosures on labour code-related compliance costs. Any follow-through commentary in subsequent filings and management interactions will help clarify how operating costs and product mix evolve alongside growth in e-commerce and B2B shipments.
