Significant Decline in Profit for Reliance Spinning Mills
Reliance Spinning Mills Limited reported a significant decline in net profit for the third quarter, falling to NPR 26.3 million from NPR 927.8 million in the previous year's same period.

- Increased Financial Expenses: The financial expenses have surged by approximately 50%, which has further strained the company's profitability.
- Drop in Other Income: A decline in other income sources also contributed to the reduced overall profit.
