New Delhi, Feb 6 (PTI) Hero MotoCorp on Thursday said its consolidated profit after tax increased 2 per cent to Rs 1,108 crore in the December quarter, aided by higher sales.
The two-wheeler major reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 1,091 crore in the October-December quarter of last fiscal.
Revenue from operations rose to Rs 10,260 crore in the third quarter against Rs 9,788 crore in the year-ago period, the company said in a regulatory filing.
