India's Edible Oil Refiners Project 10-12% Revenue Growth Despite Import Duty Cuts
India's edible oil refiners are projected to achieve 10-12% revenue growth in the current financial year despite a recent reduction in import duties on crude edible oils. Elevated global edible oil prices, driven by supply concerns and biodiesel demand, along with strong domestic consumption, support this growth. The government’s duty cuts aim to moderate prices and improve affordability. Crisil Ratings notes that while growth is slightly lower than last fiscal's 14-16%, it remains robust amid ongoing global price pressures and improving consumer demand.
