Rallis India, a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals, on Thursday reported a 23.80 per cent decline in profit after tax at Rs 48 crore during the quarter ending June 30, compared to the same period in the previous financial year.

The company's PAT stood at Rs 63 crore during the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, Rallis India said in a regulatory filing.

Revenue from operations of the company was flat at Rs 783 crores during the quarter under review compared to Rs 782 crores during the same period of the previous year.

We will further intensify our efforts to build capabilities in manufacturing, digitalisation and leverage Collaborations and Alliances," he added.
