RITES Q2 profit drops to Rs 110 crore

New Delhi: State-owned RITES Ltd on Tuesday reported a 21.4 per cent decline in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 110.17 crore for the September quarter.

The company had posted a consolidated PAT of Rs 140.20 crore in the year-ago period.

The consolidated income of the company during the July-September period dropped to Rs 608.81 crore as against Rs 684.30 crore in the year-ago period, RITES said in a filing to the BSE.
