The full read
Centrum reported a standalone Q4 profit of ₹162 cr, swinging from a loss a year earlier. The board also confirmed plans to raise up to ₹1,000 cr each through NCDs and equity, a proposal first filed on May 14. The annual results were audited and approved, with auditor reappointments and other items being routine. The PAT number is the centrepiece, but with the fund raise already in the open, the filing adds procedural clarity rather than surprise.
