Indian Retailers Manage Price Increases Amid Rising Input Costs and Supply Risks
Indian retailers are managing rising input costs amid volatile fabric, yarn, and cotton prices, as well as supply-chain risks linked to geopolitical tensions like the West Asia crisis, according to a Nuvama report. Companies such as Page Industries, V-Mart, and V2 Retail are implementing modest price increases between 2.2% and 5%, while some retailers absorb costs to protect consumer demand. Strategies include adjusting sourcing and building safety stocks to mitigate supply risks without significantly raising prices.
