Analyst Q&A
Q. What was the cash flow from operations for us for this quarter?
So, the quarter, we don't honestly give any cash flow from operations. We will give that in the September quarter or the half year.
Q. May I know what is the debt position as of date of Q1 ending?
We don't comment on balance sheet numbers typically, but debt position has not increased largely compared to March, and it is almost in line with what the March number was.
Q. Can you update us on the bidding pipeline today, specifically how much is under valuation where GPT is L1?
Right now, we are not L1 in any contract. Once we are declared L1, we will definitely announce that to the exchanges.
