BENGALURU, Nov 4 (Reuters) - India's JK Paper JKPA.NS reported a fall in profit for a fifth-straight quarter on Monday, hit by rising prices of wood - a key raw material used to manufacture paper and packaging materials.

The company said its consolidated net profit fell 57% to 1.29 billion rupees ($15.3 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30.

The company's expenses rose nearly 15% to 15.70 billion rupees, mainly due a 21% rise in input costs.

Its net revenue rose 2% to 16.83 billion rupees.
