IT firm Tech Mahindra today posted a lower-than-expected increase of 9.65 per cent in its consolidated net profit at Rs 144 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, on account of the adverse impact of currency fluctuation.

The company said the first quarter was difficult due to currency fluctuation. "There was significant erosion in margins owing to currency headwinds," it added.
