· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
Dalmia Bharat experienced a consolidated loss of Rs 205 crore in the September quarter of this year. This loss was due to an exceptional hit of Rs 339 crore related to asset impairment and employee separation. Sales volume rose by 3% year-on-year, while consolidated revenue increased by 4% to Rs 3,563 crore. However, EBITDA fell by 29% due to rising power and fuel costs, which increased by 22%.
