Megasoft Ltd has reported flat revenues of Rs 40 crore in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, as against Rs 39.26 crore in the same quarter last year, a growth of 2 per cent.

Profit after tax, however, has gone up 53 per cent to Rs 6.42 crore (Rs 4.17 crore).

Reduction in interest burden too helped. We expect the growth momentum to continue for the year ahead,” Mr G.V. Kumar, Managing Director of Megasoft, told Business Line. For the full year 2010, it clocked revenues of Rs 168 crore and PAT of Rs 22 crore.
