Additionally, NCC posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 173.54 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, reflecting a remarkable 33.9% increase year-on-year. This surge in profitability is attributed to higher execution during the quarter.
The company's revenue from operations also saw a substantial boost, rising by 31.9 percent to ₹4,380.39 crore during the same quarter.
