Mohan Goenka, Director, Emami, said: “In this depressed market environment characterised by sluggish economy, high inflation, and erratic weather, Emami has strengthened market shares in key categories, conserved resources and delivered good profits with marginal sales decline. While demand for our products is good leading to continuous increase in market shares in key categories, delayed summer has affected offtakes in the quarter. International business has performed well with aggressive growth in GCC and SAARC countries.”
International business of Emami grew by 9 percent in the quarter and 23 percent for the full financial year.
