'Megna Electro Castings has registered 24% growth in sales for the quarter ended March 2018 to Rs 25.72 crore. But with 940 bps contraction in operating profit margin, the operating profit was down by 42% to Rs 2.15 crore. However its net profit for the period was up by modest 1% to Rs 2.29 crore. Growth at PAT despite weak operating performance was largely due to higher other income, lower interest cost, lower depreciation and lower tax incidence. But for lower EO income the growth at bottom-line would have been higher than reported.
