The 40% growth in profits was largely due to two factors. There was a 57% growth in the contribution of DCCDL, the subsidiary that handles commercial leases and has a tie up with the sovereign fund of Singapore. The other reason for the boost to profits was the fall in financing costs due to lower debt.
