Cash Flow Analysis
| Cash Flow (In Rs Crores) | FY 24 | FY 25 |
| Operating Activity | 164.8 | -16.5 |
| Investing Activity | -7.0 | -13.2 |
| Financing Activity | -1.0 | -9.9 |

Operating Cash Flow
In FY 24, PXIL reported a strong OCF of Rs 164.8 cr. But in FY 25, OCF turned negative at Rs -16.5 cr. This sharp reversal indicates challenges in converting accounting profits into actual cash inflows from core operations.
Investing Cash Flow
Investing outflows increased from Rs 7.0 cr. in FY 24 to Rs 13.2 cr. in FY 25, suggesting higher spending on investments, capex, or financial placements.
Financing Cash Flow
Cash outflows under financing rose from Rs 1.0 cr. in FY 24 to Rs 9.9 cr. in FY 25. This likely reflects debt repayments, dividend payouts, or reduced external funding.
Net Cash Flow
Despite robust profits, PXIL’s net cash flow declined from a positive Rs 156.8 cr. in FY 24 to a negative Rs 39.7 cr. in FY 25. This swing was driven by weak operating cash flows and higher financing outflows, highlighting a gap between profit growth and cash liquidity.
