CDSL reported a weak Q4 FY25 with consolidated net profit of INR 100 crore, down 22% YoY from INR 129 crore, as total income fell to INR 256 crore from INR 267 crore. The decline was driven by lower market volumes, reduced delivery-based transactions, and a slowdown in demat account openings. For the full year, revenue grew 32% to INR 1,199 crore and PAT rose 25% to INR 526 crore, supported by strong account additions (15.29 crore, +32% YoY) and market share of 79%. Management emphasized ongoing technology investments and a focus on infrastructure resilience, but provided no specific forward guidance. Risks include continued market volatility, regulatory changes in KYC/KRA, and competitive pressure in the insurance repository business.
CDSL का Q4 FY25 कमजोर रहा। कंपनी का कुल मुनाफा 100 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल के 129 करोड़ से 22% कम है। कुल आय भी 267 करोड़ से घटकर 256 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। इसकी वजह शेयर बाजार में कम कारोबार, कम डिलीवरी आधारित लेन-देन और नए डीमैट खाते खुलने की धीमी रफ्तार है। पूरे साल की बात करें तो आय 32% बढ़कर 1,199 करोड़ और मुनाफा 25% बढ़कर 526 करोड़ रुपये रहा। इसकी वजह 15.29 करोड़ नए खाते (+32%) और 79% बाजार हिस्सेदारी है। कंपनी तकनीक और बुनियादी ढांचे पर निवेश कर रही है, लेकिन भविष्य के लिए कोई अनुमान नहीं दिया। जोखिमों में बाजार में उतार-चढ़ाव, KYC नियमों में बदलाव और बीमा रिपॉजिटरी में प्रतिस्पर्धा शामिल है।
