Dairy firm Heritage Foods today posted a 39.35 per cent fall in its consolidated net profit at Rs 10.37 crore in the first quarter of 2017-18 fiscal due to higher expenses.

But expenses rose to Rs 602.55 crore from Rs 435.06 crore in the said period.

The company said it has integrated the operation of the recently acquired Reliance Dairy, part of Reliance Retail.
