Emami plans another 2–3% price hike as crude-linked input costs rise
After implementing annualised price increases of 3–4%, Emami plans a further 2–3% hike over the next two quarters. The Kolkata-based FMCG company expects strong double-digit FY27 growth, supported by domestic demand and its fast-growing new-age portfolio.
Emami plans calibrated additional price hikes of 2-3% over two quarters after 3-4% increases, to offset crude-linked input inflation. The FMCG company targets strong double-digit FY27 growth as domestic demand and its fast-growing new-age portfolio support sales.
Why this matters
The planned hike follows Emami’s Q1 profit declines of 15% and 16% amid higher input and promotional costs, even as Q1 revenue rose 15% to Rs 1,039 crore on acquisitions and organised-channel growth.
