Dabur India said elevated inflation pressured its operating margins in the September quarter. Rising costs for crude oil-linked derivatives and packaging materials weighed on profitability, reflecting a challenge across the broader FMCG sector.
The company said calibrated price increases and cost-saving measures partially offset the impact. It still expects double-digit revenue growth for the quarter, citing resilient consumer demand. The update offers investors a view of performance ahead of Dabur’s official earnings release.
