Total income, however, jumped over two-fold to Rs 9.77 billion during January-March, 2017-18 from Rs 4.80 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Despite a sharp rise in income, the company has posted net loss due to higher operational expenditure and an exceptional item of Rs 9.28 billion.
For entire 2017-18, Unitech posted a net loss of Rs 12.75 billion as against a loss of Rs 4.02 billion in 2016-17.
