The company had reported a 267 per cent rise in net profit at Rs 12.84 crore for the first quarter of the current financial year compared with Rs 3.5 crore accrued in the same quarter previous year. The increase profit has been attributed to enhanced sales of its flagship product, ductile iron pipe.
