Total income for the second quarter of this fiscal also fell to Rs 250.23 crore from Rs 395.11 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.

He said the company's planned launches in the second quarter were postponed due to delays in regulatory approval. "With a robust launch pipeline in the second half of the financial year, we expect strong sales momentum during this period," Godrej had said.
