Consolidated figures, as filed with the exchanges. Newest year first. CESC Ltd. had roughly 10× as many shares from FY22 onwards, after a bonus issue or a share split. Book value per share is shown exactly as reported, so FY21 and earlier is struck on the smaller share count and is not comparable with the years after it. The totals above are unaffected.
