During the quarter, the total income increased by 81.38 per cent to Rs1,589.94 crore from Rs876.56 crore in the same quarter last year.

Total income increased from Rs3582.70 crore to Rs4592.55 crore, marking a 28.18 per cent growth.

Income from the EPC and contract division was Rs1,234.68 crore in 2004-05.
