New Delhi: FMCG major Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) today reported 29.28 per cent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 236.28 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, due to exceptional items in the corresponding quarter of FY'13.


The company had reported a net profit of Rs 334.14 crore in the corresponding period last year, Godrej Consumer Products said in a BSE filing.

GCPL had reported exceptional item of Rs 128.90 crore in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Overall expenses of the company in the quarter were at Rs 1,602.91 crore as against Rs 1,458.5 crore in the same quarter last year.

The company also said its board of directors has declared a fourth interim dividend of Re 2.25 per share for the financial year 2013-14.
