Kolkata: Skipper Ltd on Tuesday reported a 26.5-per cent rise in standalone profit after tax to Rs 56.5 crore for the quarter ended June, aided by margin expansion and record order inflows.

EBITDA grew 10.2 per cent year-on-year to Rs 140.1 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 10.7 per cent from 10.1 per cent.
