Wanbury also reported its unaudited financial results for Q3 and the nine-month period ending December 31, 2024. While revenue for the quarter stood at ₹13,345.18 lakh, the net profit was ₹121.77 lakh, reflecting a decline from the previous quarter’s ₹801.85 lakh due to a planned 30-day shutdown of its Tanuku facility for major upgrades.
The company remains optimistic about future growth, citing the successful clearance of an ANVISA inspection at its Tanuku plant.
