Equity and liabilities recorded a similar moderate move, with total equity decreasing to 2.98 billion rupees from 2.87 billion rupees, attributed to an increase in unappropriated profit. Non-current liabilities saw a slight decrease to 139.55 million rupees from 147.49 million rupees, while current liabilities decreased to 1.42 billion rupees from 1.55 billion rupees, reflecting reductions in trade and other payables and finances under mark-up arrangements.
