Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd announced its operating revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, reaching INR 3.2 billion, which represents a 12% year-on-year growth and was in line with market expectations. This revenue increase was primarily driven by an 11% year-on-year surge in commission and fees income.
