The huge uptick in EBITDA and profits despite sales remaining flat were the results of a ₹134 crore exceptional item that the company received on the reassignment of leasehold land in Gujarat. The biggest share in revenue came from the Aditya Birla Group company’s paper and pulp segment. Sales in the business grew 5% YoY to ₹910 crore in Q4. However, the company expects the writing and printing paper (WPP) demand to remain low due to the seasonal impact of the closure of education hubs in summer.
