Business-wise breakup
The revenue of cellulosic staple fibre business grew 14 per cent to ₹4,614 crore, with EBITDA doubling to ₹588 crore led by higher volume and benign pulp prices.

The building materials segment reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue at ₹30,042 crore, up 19 per cent y-o-y led by robust performance across cement, paints and B2B e-commerce businesses. EBITDA grew by 22 per cent to ₹5,386 crore on the back of higher profitability in cement business (UltraTech).
