CESC shares fell nearly 4% following mixed Q2FY25 earnings, with a modest 1% increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 353 crore, bolstered by strong performance from subsidiaries. However, standalone profit dropped 5% to Rs 220 crore due to rising interest costs. Revenue rose 8% year-on-year to Rs 4,700 crore, while EBITDA increased by 1.5% to Rs 1,085 crore.
