Gillette India Ltd (GIL) on Tuesday reported a 5.49 per cent decline in net profit at Rs 61.76 crore for the first quarter ended September 30.

The company had posted a net profit of Rs 65.35 crore in the same period of previous year.

The company would continue to remain focused on these strategies in line with its aim to drive balanced growth, he added.

Shares of the company on Tuesday ended 0.58 per cent down at Rs 7,897.70 apiece on the BSE.
