Metals and mining major Vedanta on Friday reported a 41 per cent year-on-year (YoY) fall in consolidated net profit (attributable to owners) to Rs 2,464 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. This was mainly because the company was hit by lower output and weak commodity prices.
Q3 bottom line missed Bloomberg consensus estimates, which had pegged net profit for the quarter at Rs 5,516 crore. The company’s net profit a year ago stood at Rs 4,164 crore. As compared to the previous quarter (Q2 of FY23), net profit was up 36.3 per cent.
