Indian FMCG Firms Plan Price Adjustments Amid Elevated Costs and Resilient Demand
Leading Indian FMCG companies like Britannia, HUL, Dabur, and Godrej Consumer plan selective price hikes and shrinkflation in the September quarter to offset elevated commodity costs and geopolitical uncertainties. Despite inflationary pressures, firms remain optimistic about resilient consumer demand, premiumisation, and revenue growth. They are monitoring crude oil prices, monsoon conditions, and potential El Nino impacts. Calibrated price adjustments aim to protect margins without significantly affecting sales volumes amid improving market conditions.
