Indian electrical utility company CESC posted an 8.9% rise in first-quarter profit on Friday, helped by surging power demand.

 


The Kolkata-based company said its consolidated net profit rose to Rs 378 crore ($45 million) in the April-June quarter from Rs 347 crore a year ago.

 


Revenue from operations rose 12.8% to Rs 4863 crores.

 


India experienced a sharp rise in power demand amid sturdy manufacturing activity and scorching weather in a summer that stretched beyond the March-May period into June.

 

The impact of the industrial and summer demand also reflected in the earnings of peers Tata Power and Torrent Power.
