Pesticides maker UPL Friday reported a 72 per cent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 206 crore for March 2019 quarter.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 737 crore in the year-ago period, the Mumbai-based firm said in a regulatory filing.
Total income during the period under review rose to Rs 8,573 crore from Rs 5,809 crore in the year-ago period.
For fiscal 2018-19, the net profit fell to Rs 1,447 crore from Rs 2,022 crore in 2017-18.
Total income during the year rose to Rs 22,077 crore from Rs 17,920 crore in the year-ago period.

It also approved a dividend of Rs 8 per equity share of Rs 2 each.
