What to watch
- Consumer and bazaar volume growth versus the reported 12.2% June-quarter pace.
- Rural consumption trends, monsoon distribution, farm-income conditions and festive-season demand.
- Gross-margin movement and management commentary on vinyl acetate monomer, crude-linked chemicals, packaging and freight costs.
- Housing, renovation and infrastructure activity, which influence adhesives, waterproofing and construction-chemical demand.
