The profit after tax for the quarter under review also includes "other comprehensive income", SPIC said in a release.
Total revenue for the July-September quarter slipped to Rs 627.63 crore from Rs 872.31 crore registered same period year ago.
"The company's performance is reflective of the sluggish macro-economic scenario. I am confident that our performance will pick up pace during ensuing quarters," SPIC Chairman, Ashwin Muthiah said.
"Our management is taking concerted efforts in this direction. We are actively pursuing opportunities arising from the government's continued push to agriculture sector," he said.
