“We are mitigating these by price increases to some extent,” the company’s management said in an investor presentation.

“We are confident about the demand environment going into the new year as we have unique value propositions that would continue to drive growth,” it said.

It included a one-time charge of Rs 7.6 crore related to a legal case involving lease rent and Rs. 12.5 crore toward new labour code.

“Our relentless focus on growing the power brands of Amrutanjan and Comfy enabled this growth,” the company said.

“We witnessed growth across the pain management portfolio and especially with LUP packs and premium formats (Roll on, Large packs),” it added.

“We are also actively working to expand width of distribution in new markets and depth in strong markets. We added 44K new chemists and plan to complete the goal of acquiring 100K chemists by September of FY 27,” Amrutanjan said.
