India Inc Reports Q2 Profit Growth Amid Rising Input Costs and Margin Pressures
India Inc reported its fastest profit growth in over two years during Q2 FY27, driven by a strong rebound in oil marketing companies and gains in select sectors. However, rising input costs from oil, freight, and metals pose challenges to margins in upcoming quarters. Hindustan Unilever is expected to show modest profit and revenue growth amid ongoing raw material price pressures and calibrated price hikes, with investors closely monitoring margin impacts and volume trends in the consumer sector.
