Indian consumer-goods makers Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. and Dabur India Ltd. issued provisional first-quarter updates pointing to diverging sales momentum in the fast-moving consumer goods sector. Godrej Consumer said consolidated revenue for the three months to June is set to rise in double digits, buoyed by high-single-digit underlying volume growth. Stand-alone revenue is expected to expand at a high-single-digit pace, helped by double-digit gains in the home-care segment, although soaps remained soft. The company cautioned that its stand-alone EBITDA margin will fall below its usual range, with relief from lower palm-oil costs likely only in the second half. Godrej shares closed at ₹1,198.80 in Mumbai trading, up 2.4 percent. By contrast, Dabur forecast consolidated revenue growth in the low-single digits, held back by a decline in its beverages portfolio. Management said operating profit will increase more slowly than sales, implying continued margin pressure.
