Hindustan Unilever Ltd. reported a single-digit rise in profit in line with analyst estimates for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, even as its volume grew at the slowest pace since the first quarter of the previous fiscal.

The consolidated net profit of India's largest consumer goods maker, attributable to the shareholders, increased 7% to Rs 2,554 crore in the quarter ended June over the preceding year. That compares with the Rs 2,593.5 crore consensus estimate of analysts tracked by Bloomberg.

Infosys Ltd. once again slashed its revenue growth guidance for fiscal 2024, despite its earnings meeting estimates in the April-June quarter.

Revenue of India’s second-largest IT services firm rose 1.31% over the previous three months to Rs 37,933 crore in the quarter ended June. That compares with the Rs 37,843 crore consensus estimate of analysts tracked by Bloomberg.

Public sector lender Union Bank of India saw its April-June net profit rise due to higher core income and significantly lower provisions. The bank's net profit for the quarter stood at Rs 3,236 crore, up 107% year-on-year. Analysts polled by Bloomberg estimated a Rs 2,343 crore net profit for the quarter.

Net interest income, or core income, for the bank rose 16.5% from a year ago and stood at Rs 8,839 crore. Other income, too, rose 38.5% year-on-year to Rs 3,903 crore.
