Godrej Consumer profit rises 14% as Africa, Indonesia cushion India margin pressure

Resumen del corpus

Godrej Consumer Products reported a 14% rise in second-quarter profit, driven by strong sales in Africa and Indonesia. This growth was supported by market-share gains in household insecticides and new product introductions. However, rising input costs from palm oil and crude-linked materials pressured profitability in the Indian market, despite strong overall revenue growth in the region.
