Total tax expense spiked 15% year on year to Rs 508.40 crore in Q3 FY21.The operating profit for the quarter was at Rs 1484.80 crore, a growth of 19.3% over the same period previous year on account of higher sales volume and cost reduction efforts partially offset by increase in commodity prices and adverse foreign exchange movement.
