Summarise

The decline in income was attributed to the completion of certain fixed-term contracts, a key driver of the company’s revenue stream. This indicates that the drop is largely cyclical rather than structural, linked to the timing of projects and execution cycles rather than underlying demand weakness.

Revenue, however, fell to ₹8.45 crore, compared with ₹12.5 crore a year earlier, reflecting the impact of contract closures during the quarter.
