India Inc Posts Strongest Revenue Growth in Two Years Amid Margin Pressures and Sectoral Variations
India Inc reported its fastest revenue growth in two years during Q1 FY27, rising 11-11.5% year-on-year, driven mainly by price increases amid elevated input costs and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. While sectors like automobiles, FMCG, metals, and IT services showed strong top-line gains, profit margins contracted due to higher fuel, freight, and raw material expenses. Oil marketing companies faced significant losses, offsetting gains in financials and telecom. Despite uncertainties, Indian firms continue pursuing overseas expansion, supported by structural factors and trade agreements.
