Conglomerate Larsen & Toubro's Q2FY22 consolidated net profit, including exceptional items and discontinued operations, fell by 67 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
The exceptional items and discontinued operations includes Rs 144 crore gain on divestment of stake in a hydel power plant in Uttarakhand and tax expense of Rs 47 crore arising on transfer of the 'NxT Digital Business' to Mindtree.
However, consolidated net profit excluding exceptional items and discontinued operations grew by 56 per cent to Rs 1,723 crore over the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
"The growth is mainly driven by higher profits in the IT&TS portfolio and improved margins from the projects and manufacturing portfolio as the pandemic induced stress in previous periods progressively wanes out," it said.
Besides, L&T reported a 12 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated revenues for Q2FY22 to Rs 34,773 crore on a YoY basis.
"The increase is attributed to project execution momentum with easing of regional lockdowns on progressive vaccination coverage and industry leading growth in the IT&TS (information technology and transformation services) portfolio."
