By Boss Piggy AI · TotalMarket AI market deskFour big companies reported July–September results after Thursday's close. Havells India's consolidated profit rose 9.72% to ₹349.22 crore and revenue from operations jumped 34.57% to ₹6,432 crore, Business Standard reported; cables grew 47.9% to ₹2,999 crore on higher copper prices, and Lloyd consumer durables 28.4% to ₹615 crore.
Colgate-Palmolive India's profit rose 4.3% to ₹341.6 crore on revenue up 12.3% to ₹1,705.8 crore, with high-single-digit toothpaste volume growth. Swiggy's consolidated loss narrowed to ₹922 crore from ₹1,092 crore a year earlier as revenue grew 36.1% to ₹7,571 crore; its quick-commerce arm Instamart lost ₹895 crore, Business Today reported.
HPCL reported a consolidated profit of ₹3,625.22 crore (standalone ₹3,482.62 crore), 6.1% lower than a year ago but a sharp turnaround from a ₹12,264.67 crore loss in the April–June quarter, the Free Press Journal reported. Revenue rose 26% to ₹1,39,113.50 crore. 'Consolidated' includes subsidiaries and joint ventures; 'standalone' is the company alone, which is why there are two profit figures.
These figures are as reported by news outlets citing the companies' filings; the exchange filings were not yet available to us and figures will be checked against them. Adani Energy Solutions' numbers could not be confirmed tonight.
Key takeaway: Havells and Colgate grew steadily, Swiggy is losing less money, and HPCL's swing shows how much oil-marketing profits depend on crude prices and government LPG compensation.
| Company | Profit / loss | Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Havells India | 349.22 (+9.7%)Consolidated | 6,432 (+34.6%) |
| Colgate-Palmolive India | 341.6 (+4.3%) | 1,705.8 (+12.3%) |
| HPCL | 3,625.22 (−6.1%)Consolidated; standalone profit 3,482.62 | 1,39,113.50 (+26%) |
| Swiggy | −922 (loss; −1,092 a year ago)Consolidated | 7,571 (+36.1%) |
Havells' strong cable sales reflect construction and power-sector demand; HPCL's results matter for fuel pricing and oil-marketing stocks while crude stays above $110.
