New Delhi, May 22 (PTI) Ester Industries, a manufacturer of polyester films and speciality polymer, reported a profit of Rs 1.9 crore in the March quarter.

It had posted a loss of Rs 23.7 crore in the year-ago period.

The Gurgaon-headquartered firm's revenue from operations stood at Rs 319.25 crore in the January-March period, 15.3 per cent higher from Rs 276.73 crore in the year-ago period.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), including non-operating income, stood at Rs 39 crore, according to a regulatory filing.
