The company’s net profit nearly tripled to Rs 469.60 lakh in January-March from Rs 237.54 lakh a year earlier.

Net profit rose sharply as operating margins improved due to lower raw material costs.

For FY23, Aarti Surfactants posted an even bigger increase in net profit at Rs 12.7 crore, up from Rs 5.49 crore in the previous financial year.

Easing input cost pressures and a strong demand environment have recently helped the company’s fortunes, with the stock up more than 66% over the past month.
