On a consolidated basis, Just Dial reported a net loss of Rs 48.36 crore in Q1 FY23 compared with net loss of Rs 3.52 crore in Q1 FY22.
The loss was driven by other income which stood at Rs 60 crore for the quarter due to mark-to-market (MTM) losses on treasury portfolio owing to significant increase in bond yields (135-150 bps QoQ for 2-3 year AAA bonds) during the quarter.
