India Inc's first quarter scorecard has been mixed so far. While net profit growth has shot up, the 154 companies that have declared their results have faltered on the turnover growth rate.
Rising interest rates and higher inputs costs seem to have taken the sparkle out of corporate results in Q4 2007.
The early birds have set a scorching pace in the quarter ended March 2007, with around 120 companies posting a 28.6 per cent rise in sales and a hefty 57.8 per cent rise in net profit.
