2% price hike

India’s consumer goods makers are raising prices by up to 5% as the GST relief ends, driven by rising commodity costs and a weak rupee. Notably, Dabur India plans a 2% price hike this quarter, indicating a shift in pricing power after months of restraint. This trend may impact consumer spending and margins across the sector.
