During the same period last year, the company had reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 4,174.69 crore.

In a statement, the company said that the operating environment remained extremely challenging during the quarter with the unabated increase in daily Covid cases prompting several states to impose localised lockdowns.
It impacted the recovery momentum, particularly in the months of July and August, and posed significant challenges to sales operations, the statement said, adding that the situation continues to improve with the progressive easing of restrictions from September.
