Broadcaster New Delhi Television on Monday reported a 57.4% decline in consolidated profit after tax at Rs 5.55 crore in the September quarter, impacted by lower revenue and higher expenses.
The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 13.03 crore in the same quarter last fiscal, New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV) said in a regulatory filing.
Consolidated revenue from operations was Rs 95.55 crore as against Rs 105.8 crore in the year-ago period, it added.
