The company yesterday reported a 16.93 per cent dip in September quarter net income at Rs 644.7 crore from Rs 776.1 crore a year ago owing to restructuring exercise in Europe which hurt its margins.

Chief Financial Officer Milind Kulkarni said the quarter saw a USD 13 million hit due to a one-time restructuring exercise in Belgium, where it transfered a part of its operations to India, resulting in margin impact.
During the reporting quarter, revenue from European operations grew the fastest at 9.4 per cent over the preceding June quarter, followed by the US at 2.5 per cent.
