Indian FMCG Firms Report Strong Q1 Growth Amid Price Hikes and Inflation Concerns
Leading FMCG companies in India, including Dabur, Godrej Consumer Products, and Marico, reported double-digit revenue and profit growth in the April-June quarter, driven by strong demand for summer products and calibrated price hikes amid rising input costs. While rural markets showed robust growth, firms remain cautious about inflation trends and the potential impact of El Niño on monsoon and consumption. International markets, particularly the Middle East, also contributed to growth, with companies noting easing input costs toward quarter-end.
