Shares of Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company

Ltd. fell more than 6% on Tuesday, July 28, before recovering nearly 4% from the day's low, despite the company reporting a strong set of June quarter earnings.

The NBFC reported a 45.5% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹1,656 crore, compared with ₹1,138 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.



Net interest income (NII) increased 27% year-on-year to ₹4,041 crore, up from ₹3,188 crore a year ago.

Despite the strong operational performance, the stock remained under pressure in Tuesday's trade, although it pared a portion of its intraday losses.
