Pidilite Reports Strong Q1 Growth, Plans Price Adjustments Amid Raw Material Cost Changes
Pidilite Industries reported over 11% volume growth in Q1 and a 21% rise in consolidated revenue, driven by strong demand across urban and rural markets. The company raised prices by 2-12% to offset raw material cost increases linked to the West Asia crisis but is open to reducing prices as input costs ease. Pidilite is diversifying its supply chain to mitigate geopolitical risks and expects to maintain its EBITDA margin guidance of 20-24% while targeting double-digit volume growth for FY27.
