Why were security margins impacted? Plans to increase stake to 100%?
Asked by Anand Mundra, my temple capital
Management explained margin dip due to provision but did not address plans to increase stake to 100%.
did not answer stake increase question
Read the exchange
Question
On the security side, why were the margins impacted this quarter? And I you also mentioned that there was some stake increase that happened. So I think it's about 75% now. Do we plan to get to 100% of this?
Pupul (likely CFO or senior executive)
in our security vertical uh even 20 30 lakhs uh quarter movement in terms of the absolute makes a lot of difference in terms of the percentages. So while the revenue has grown by 3% we would have expected IITA to grow at 3% as well which is a miss of around 75 lakhs. So these 75 lakhs to 80 lakhs of uh one-time provision we have taken on certain receivables.
