Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) on Tuesday reported a net profit of Rs 1,377.15 crore for the April–June 2025 quarter, down 4.4 per cent from Rs 1,435.59 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations rose 11 per cent year-on-year to Rs 4,819.14 crore from Rs 4,347.57 crore. Despite stronger sales and operating performance, higher tax expenses dragged down the net profit.
