Parag Milk Foods Ltd announced a 13.51% drop in its net profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, attributing the decline to increased expenses. The company's net profit fell to Rs 32.57 crore compared to Rs 37.66 crore during the same period in the previous year, stated the regulatory filing.
The company's total income, however, rose to Rs 1,021.62 crore from Rs 890.08 crore year-over-year. Increased expenses, which surged over 15% to Rs 983.33 crore, outweighed the revenue gains.
