Excise duty increases on cigarettes pressured profitability, while calibrated pricing and FMCG growth supported market resilience.
Excise duty increases on cigarettes affected consolidated profitability, prompting calibrated pricing and portfolio measures to protect market share and limit migration to illicit trade. The cigarette portfolio was re-architected across price points through value-accretive offerings and staggered pricing actions. Non-cigarette FMCG growth was supported by demand for packaged foods, dairy and personal-care products. Input-cost inflation was mitigated through inventory cover, commodity hedging and price-volume rebalancing amid crude-price volatility, supply-chain disruption and imported inflation concerns.
