Shiseido cuts profit forecast due to Fukushima, Mahindra's Q2 profit up 67%, Coal India's profit jumps 13%

Shiseido has cut its full-year profit forecast due to slower demand from Chinese consumers following the release of treated radioactive water at Fukushima. India's Mahindra reported a 67% increase in Q2 profit driven by strong SUV demand. State-owned Coal India saw a nearly 13% rise in second-quarter profit due to increased electricity demand. However, India's Tata Chemicals posted a 32% drop in Q2 profit due to weak demand and prices, while LIC's Q2 profit halved due to lower premiums and fund transfer.
