Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (500696.BY) said Monday net profit for the fiscal second quarter rose 32% to INR5.66 billion from INR4.29 billion a year earlier.

Sales in the three months through September rose 11% to INR46.81 billion from INR42.28 billion.

The results beat analysts' expectations, with a Dow Jones Newswires poll of 12 analysts on average forecasting the company to post net profit of INR5.11 billion on sales of INR46.59 billion.

Hindustan Unilever, India's largest consumer goods maker by sales, didn't immediately provide a reason for the rise in profit.
