United Spirits (USL), the countrys largest spirits player, today reported a tepid seven per cent rise in second-quarter net profit at Rs 74.6 crore, bogged down by financing its high-cost debt. Riding on sales growth of 16 per cent, revenue rose 26 per cent to Rs 1,366 crore. The flagship spirits company of the United Breweries Group sold 26.6 million cases during the three months to September. One case carries nine litres or 12 bottles of 750 ml.
