Mumbai: Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd (PGHH) reported a slight increase of 0.57% in profit after tax, to Rs 211.90 crore for the first quarter ended September 2024, media reports said.
This modest rise compares to a profit of Rs 210.69 crore in the same quarter last year, according to a PTI report.
