Vedanta yesterday reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 11,181.26 crore in the March quarter of the last fiscal due to a non-cash impairment charge of Rs 12,304 crore largely relating to Cairn India.
However, the firm managed to lower its net loss compared to the year-ago period. It had posted a net loss of Rs 19,228.12 crore during January-March of 2014-15, it had said in a BSE filing.
Total consolidated income fell 10 per cent to Rs 15,979.3 crore during January-March of 2015-16, from Rs 17,804 crore a year ago, due to fall in oil and metal prices. It was partially offset by higher volumes.
