The company said that it posted a “net profit of Rs 34.8 crore ($8 million), against Rs 77 crore in the corresponding period - a decrease of 55 per cent, mainly on account of higher interest rate environment”.
Operating profits from major businesses increased by 78 per cent to Rs 104.7 crore ($23 million) from Rs 58.7 crore for the corresponding period in the previous fiscal, it said.
As on June 30, 2011, the net worth of the company stood at Rs 7,834.5 crore ($2 billion).
