The profit before tax grew sharply by 56.2 per cent y-o-y to ₹25.8 crore aided by higher other income (up 27.8 per cent y-o-y to ₹3.2 crore) and lower interest cost (down 19.3 per cent y-o-y to ₹7.5 crore). The growth in PAT was restricted to 17.4 per cent y-o-y to ₹19.1 crore (19.2 per cent ahead of estimates) due to higher tax rate of 26 per cent v/s 1.6 per cent in Q2FY15.
