Management Commentary:
Mr. Varun Berry, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said,
- “We came out of a challenging financial year that witnessed a consumption slowdown, particularly in Rural India. Our performance this quarter reflects the agile approach to a dynamic market environment and diligent market practices.
- We delivered a modest revenue growth of 4% during the quarter, driven by high single-digit volume growth and improved operating margins over last year. Our market share progressed well as an outcome of sustained investments in Brands, Product excellence, and Innovation.
- We continue to make positive strides in Rural as we expand distribution footprint and enhance product offerings to align with regional preferences, and well positioned to benefit from the consumption growth in Rural.
- As a result, rural market share grew at a faster clip than Urban. We are actively leveraging the rapidly growing Modern Trade and E-commerce channels, both growing handsomely compared to previous year. Additionally, we introduced the Pure Magic Stars and Golmaal variant during the quarter, which have contributed to heightened consumer excitement and strengthened our brand franchisees.”
