In this case “up from” is a prepositional phrase that compares the current value (Tuk-Tuk-120,043 crore) to a past value during a similar period (Tuk 98,978 crore) If

you put these numbers on a graph, 120,043 would be higher than 98,978 so it’s “up”.

What is a common way to compare numbers in the years.?

The US population is 327. Is it possible that Indonesia could expand its borders to more than 2 million people in the next 21 years? 3 million in 1993

An identical phrase – “down from” – is also used if the value dipped.
