Havells India Ltd on Wednesday reported a nearly four-fold jump in its consolidated net profit to Rs 235.78 crore for the first quarter ended June 2021, driven by "resilient" demand post easing of COVID restrictions.
The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 63.98 crore in the April-June quarter a year ago, Havells said in a regulatory filing.
Its revenue from operations was up 75.95 per cent at Rs 2,609.97 crore during the period under review, as against Rs 1,483.40 crore a year ago.
Havells India Chairman and Managing Director Anil Rai Gupta said, "Despite a truncated quarter, overall performance has been encouraging across segments. The demand has been resilient, and we expect further improvement as COVID restrictions are progressively lifted."
