est rise in net profit (up 9%). PSUs reported the fastest rise in sales (up 8%). The Tatas reported a fall (2%) in sales as well as net profit (down 27%). The Aditya Birla group reported a 6% increase in sales but a 2% fall in net profit.
Large-sized companies were relatively better off in the adverse environment and posted a 6% rise in sales and a 14% growth in net profit. Net profit of medium-sized companies was down 27% and sales 5%. Small-sized companies reported an 82% drop in net profit on 33% fall in sales.

Even though medium-sized companies showed a significant fall in sales and profit, the BSE Midcap index constituents did the best, with a 12% rise in sales and a 32% jump in net profit. This was much better than NSE-50 companies, which could manage only a 2% rise in sales and a 7% increase in net profit, and the Sensex companies, whose net profit grew 8% and sales 3%. Even the BSE Smallcap index constituents were just ok, with a 3% increase in sales and a 4% rise in net profit. Tata Motors, Hindalco, SBI, ACC, Ultratech, Maruti, Bharat Electronics, Supreme Industries, Lanco Infratech, TVS Motors, Gujarat State Petronet, Engineers India, Honeywell Automation, and Godrej Consumer Products reported much betterthan-expected result.
