Polyester manufacturer Indo Rama Synthetics (India) Ltd reported a sharp 5,000 per cent jump in its standalone profit to ₹97.38 crore for the third quarter ended December 31. The company has attributed the increase to forex gains. Net sales, however, declined to ₹582.07 crore in the October-December quarter against ₹694.61 crore in the same period last fiscal.
This was largely due to non-availability of raw material as Indian Oil’s Purified Terepthalic Acid (PTA) plant was closed, the company said. Indo Rama, which suffered losses in the second quarter, is hopeful of better performance in the coming quarters.
