The company's net profit rose to Rs 7,935 crore in the three months ended March 31, a growth of 13 percent from Rs 7,022 crore in the year-ago period.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) jumped 17.9 percent to Rs 20,060 crore from Rs 17,016 crore, driven by healthy revenue growth and margin improvement.
