Consolidated Net sales stood at Rs 1,108.22 Crore in the same quarter last year.

We have managed our business dynamically through a combination of judicious price increases and greater focus on cost efficiencies to deliver profitable and sustainable growth. Our performance during the year has been satisfying with significant growth across all our key brands. Dabur has also laid the foundation for strong and profitable growth in the future with an array of new product initiatives that have met with good success and would further blossom over the next couple of years,” Dabur India Ltd Chief Executive Officer Mr. Sunil Duggal said.
