- Plix/Satiya revenue growth, distribution expansion, repeat rates and any increase in acquisition-related spending.

- Copra, edible-oil and packaging-cost trends, plus the extent of pricing action.
- Management commentary on FY26 revenue-growth guidance, advertising intensity and margin outlook.
- Increase investment in Plix/Satiya distribution, brand-building and cross-selling through Marico's offline and e-commerce network.
- Lean further into premium foods, wellness, personal care and digital-first formats to diversify beyond core edible oils and hair oils.
- Use selective price increases, pack-price architecture and cost initiatives to rebuild profit growth relative to sales growth.
- Focus international operations on local-market growth, currency management and profitable category expansion rather than broad-based volume pursuit.
