Unilever`s India unit misses profit estimates on higher costs

Hindustan Unilever, the Indian unit of UK's Unilever, reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly profit on Wednesday as the consumer goods maker spent more on advertising to fend off stiff competition.

The Dove soap-maker reported a near-4% fall in profit to 26.12 billion rupees ($310.77 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with 27.17 billion rupees a year earlier.

Analysts, on average, had expected a profit of 26.88 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
