Home Care delivered 30% growth driven by strong performance in Fabric Wash and Household Care. Beauty & Personal Care growth of 17% was broad based. Foods & Refreshment grew 9% driven by solid performance in Ice-cream, Coffee and Food Solutions.

We have grown competitively whilst protecting our business model by maintaining margins in a healthy range. While there are near term concerns around inflation, the recent softening of commodities, forecast of a normal monsoon, and monetary/ fiscal measures taken by the government augur well for the industry.
