The company EBITDA jumped up 50% YoY to ₹798.04 crore. Net profits for the period stood at ₹429.1 crore, up close to 69% from the year-ago period. The company attributed the jump in profits to high growth in revenue from operations, improvement in margins, and transition to a lower tax rate in India.

The company also announced a stock split. The company’s board approved a 1:2 stock split. “The Record Date for sub-division/split of existing Equity Shares shall be decided after taking approval of the Equity Shareholders of the Company,” the company added in a statement.
However, the announcement has not helped the stock. After a brief bump VBL share price slumped deep in the red in the late hours of trading on Tuesday.
