Emami plans another 2–3% price hike as crude-linked input costs rise

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.
