Unichem Laboratories has dipped 8% to Rs 204 after reporting a 38% year on year (yoy) declined in net profit at Rs 22.30 crore for the quarter ended September 2014, due lower growth in operational income and higher raw material cost. The pharmaceutical company had profit of Rs 36.20 crore during the same quarter last fiscal.
