Mumbai: Cement manufacturer ACC Ltd said that its consolidated net profit for July-September quarter fell 7.7% to Rs259.98 crore, from the corresponding year-ago period.

The total income for quarter under review rose to Rs1,979.51 crore, from Rs1,741.38 crore for the same quarter last fiscal, ACC said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
