What did Kovai correct?

The company fixed an arithmetical error in its tax expense calculation for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The filing gives no further detail on the nature of the mathematical mistake.

Why are the full-year results unaffected?

The error was confined to the Q4 tax line. The full-year audited results, which aggregate the entire fiscal year, were apparently correct or have been separately audited and remain as reported.

How material is a ₹3.67 crore restatement?

The ₹3.67 crore uplift is a 6.1% increase to the originally reported Q4 net profit. It is material to that quarter's headline number but does not change the annual profit figure.
