Meanwhile, seven companies from the NIFTY 500 index posted a turnaround story in the third quarter of the current financial year as they turned profitable on a year-on-year (YoY) basis.

Paytm: Parent of Paytm, the country's leading payment services provider, One97 Communications, on a standalone basis, reported a net profit of ₹145 crore compared with a loss of ₹205 crore in the year-ago period, data from Ace Equity showed.

On a consolidated basis, it posted a net profit of ₹225 crore during the quarter under review, compared to a loss of ₹208 crore.

Its consolidated net profit rose 14% to Rs 1,203.36 crore for December quarter.

The turnaround in the third quarter was driven by strong surplus cash generation of ₹3,876 crore during the quarter, which led to the successful achievement of its stated goal of achieving a zero gross debt level, the company said.

"New sales bookings stood at Rs 419 crore, led by healthy monetisation of our launched inventory (excluding The Dahlias). We remain confident of achieving our annual guidance and will continue to bring our new product offerings in line with our stated medium-term plan," DLF said.

IFCI: The country's leading non-banking finance (NBFC) reported standalone a net profit of ₹6.85 crore at the end of Q3 against a loss of ₹59 crore in the year-ago period.
