Integrated power company Tata Power on Friday reported a decline of 43.63 per cent in its consolidated net profit to Rs 268.50 crore for the second quarter (Q2) ending on September 30, mainly due to an one time loss of Rs 152 crore.
The company's net profit stood at Rs 268.50 crore for Q2 FY18 from Rs 476.30 crore during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
