What did the quarter add?

Profit before tax increased to INR 3,230 million from INR 1,290 million a year earlier and INR 2,720 million in the preceding quarter. Total expenses reached INR 241,660 million, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose to INR 6,660 million from INR 2,390 million in the prior-year quarter, according to Business Standard.
