Biocon reported a 57% decline in its consolidated net profit to ₹136 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2024. This decrease was primarily attributed to higher expenses. Total revenue for the quarter saw a marginal increase to ₹3,966 crore compared to ₹3,929 crore in the previous year.
For the fiscal year ended on March 31, 2024, Biocon witnessed a significant improvement in its consolidated net profit, which rose to ₹1,022 crore from ₹463 crore in the previous fiscal year.
