New Delhi: Software services major HCL Technologies today reported a 72.59 per cent jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,039.9 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, driven by growth in infrastructure and enterprise application services. The company's net profit stood at Rs 602.5 crore in the January-March quarter of 2012, HCL Technologies said in a statement. It follows July-June fiscal year.
HCL Tech's revenues stood at Rs 6,424.6 crore during the reported quarter, up 23.2 per cent from Rs 5,215.6 crore in the same quarter last year.
