RAPAPORT... Asian Star, a Mumbai-based diamond manufacturer, reported
profit dropped in the past fiscal year even as revenue rose.
Net profit declined 11 percent to $10.7 million (INR 725.5 million)
even as sales edged up 2.5 percent to $488.7 million in the 12 months to March
31, the company, which is a De Beers sightholder, said.
The group, listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange since 1996,
produces polished diamonds weighing 5 carats and below in “fine” makes and
manufactures gold and platinum and diamond-studded jewelry.
Revenue from its diamond segment increased 3.8 percent to
$445.9 million (INR 30.12 billion), outweighing a 9.7-percent slump in jewelry
sales to $62.9 million (INR 4.25 billion).
In the three months to March 31, revenue jumped 29 percent and
profit slid 10 percent.
