In its quarterly update, Dabur India said it expects the improvement in gross margins to continue in the ongoing fiscal year, encouraged by the moderation in inflation and growth trends in urban and rural India. "One of the key contributing factors to this positive development has been the reduction in inflation. Sequential moderation in inflation has positively impacted consumer spending power and is resulting in gradual improvement in offtakes in the industry," it said.

The company added, "The reduction in inflation is expected to lead to year-on-year gross margin expansion. We are channelising a major part of the gross margin expansion towards ramping up advertising and promotion (A&P) spending to ensure long-term success. Consequently, operating profit should grow in line with revenue growth." Dabur further said that its consolidated business, including the recently acquired Badshah Masala, is expected to register growth exceeding 10 per cent.

The company said, "We are encouraged by the improving trends observed in the urban and rural markets in India, as well as the positive performance of our business segments. We remain committed to driving growth and profitability while navigating market challenges and capitalising on opportunities for the remainder of the fiscal year." Read more
