Typically the residential portfolio carry a EBITDA margin of 35%-40%. In comparison the FSI vertical have a EBITDA margin of over 60%.
Given Q1FY14 sales is more from residential portfolio and Q1FY13 came mainly from FSI, it is not appropriate to compare the margin when the revenue mix changes.
Higher tax rate for the quarter is largely on account of change in revenue mix as residential attracting complete tax and there won't be benefit of MAT.
