May 7 (Reuters) - India's Dabur DABU.NS beat expectations for quarterly profit on Thursday, helped by steady domestic demand and benefits from consumption tax cuts, even as its international business faced pressure amid the Middle East war.
The consumer goods maker posted a profit of 3.69 billion rupees ($39.15 million) for the fourth quarter ended March 31, compared to 3.2 billion rupees, a year earlier.
Analysts, on average, were expecting 3.6 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
