Consumer electrical goods maker Havells India Ltd reported a stand-alone net profit of Rs. 194.36 crore for the quarter ended in December 2017, compared to a profit of Rs. 152.97 crore a year ago. Total income during the quarter under review stood at Rs. 1,993.53 crore versus Rs. 1,650.68 crore in the year-ago period. The company said the results are not comparable with previous period as it had acquired consumer durable business of LEEL Electricals Ltd in May last year. “We expect that rationalisation of GST (goods and service tax) rates for electrical product categories would trigger positive sentiments amongst consumers. We are optimistic on growth going forward,” Havells India chairman and managing director, Anil Rai Gupta said. Revenue from switchgear division was Rs. 344 crore during the quarter as against Rs. 331 crore in the third quarter of the financial year 2016-17.
