BENGALURU, Oct 28 (Reuters) - India's IFB Industries Ltd (IFBI.NS) posted a 2% fall in its second-quarter profit on Friday, as expenses soared and took the shine off higher sales of its home appliances. Consumer goods makers globally have seen their bottomline take a knock from higher commodity prices, with the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war leading to a rise in input costs. For Kolkata, West Bengal-based IFB, which makes several home appliances including washing machines and air conditioners, total expenses rose 13.3% to 10.85 billion rupees. Net profit fell to 241.2 million rupees ($2.93 million) in the three months ended Sept. 30, from 245.9 million rupees a year ago. However, analysts have said the recent fall in commodity prices would start helping companies from the December quarter onwards.
