What to watch

  • Domestic volume growth staying above 5% in Q2 FY27.
  • Whether rural demand outpaces urban demand during the monsoon and festive periods.
  • Middle East sales growth, distributor inventory levels and currency translation effects.
  • Gross-margin trend from commodity inputs, packaging costs and pricing actions.
  • Advertising-to-sales ratio and whether higher brand spending converts into market-share gains.
  • International revenue contribution remaining near or above 27% despite regional volatility.
  • Increase domestic distribution and rural-market activation ahead of the festive season.
  • Prioritise premium, higher-margin categories and selective price-pack architecture rather than broad price-led growth.
  • Rebalance international inventory, sourcing and market investments toward geographies less exposed to Middle East disruption.
  • Use earnings momentum to defend advertising and brand-investment intensity while protecting operating margins.
  • Monitor input-cost inflation and take calibrated pricing actions if gross-margin pressure re-emerges.
