The company’s profit was Rs 85.55 crore for the October- December quarter in 2010-11, it said in a filing to the BSE.

Emami’s Q3 net sales increased 13.23 per cent to Rs 457.26 crore, as against Rs 403.80 crore in the year-ago period.

“The demand of personal care products, especially among the new age metrosexual men, is growing steadily and hence provides a huge business opportunity,” it said.
