Dabur India Q2 update

Moving on to news from the FMCG sector, Dabur India is likely to see mid to high single-digit revenue growth in the second quarter of the current fiscal year as international business improves and domestic consumption recovers, the company said in a statement.

The consolidated business will see higher gross margin expansion than in the first fiscal quarter as a result of moderating inflation and the firm's cost-saving initiatives.

The company said that consumption has improved year-on-year (YoY), however, the recovery has been gradual on a mild summer and a slightly deficient monsoon.

Since the festive season also occurs later in the year, the offtake will be carried forward to the next quarter.

Consumption in rural and urban markets is expected to recover as a result of improving macro indicators, an increase in government spending, and positive consumer sentiment.

In India, healthcare and home & personal care (HPC) segments are expected to see high single-digit growth.

The delay in the festive season will result in declining revenue for the F&B business, however, Badshah Masala will continue to perform well and is likely to record healthy growth.
