The company had posted a net profit of Rs 64.51 crore in the July-September period a year-ago, Arvind Ltd said in a BSE filing.

Total expenses stood at Rs 1,723.27 crore as against Rs 1,540.08 crore, up 11.89 per cent.
Meanwhile, the company said that as NCLT has approved the scheme of demerger for its branded apparels and engineering businesses, "the reported financial statements reflect figures for continuing businesses only".
"Pending receipt of order and other conditions precedent in the Scheme, the Group has considered the business of Engineering and Branded Apparel Undertaking as 'Discontinuing Operations'," the company said.
