Why sharp margin decline in consumer products despite peers improving?

One of the things when we are flushing out stocks so while uh we are not selling to our distributors but we are running promotions on that that stock to move to trade. So part of that will get reflected in the margin drop. ... this is temporary so underlined margin will be healthier than what you're seeing and you will see that improving as you move forward.

Why was channel correction needed and why now?

If you look back at the year so far we have seen that the summer season did not pan out as per the expectations and owing to that the channel was carrying a significant amount of inventory. ... we thought it is prudent and judicious to take this correction rather than loading the inventory into the channel more and more.

If market share gained, why was channel inventory higher than peers?

The levels of inventory remained elevated and the assumption was it would go down first in due to the summers did not pan out and then after that which was quarter 3 which was about the festive period we thought it's the right time to normalize this as we move into the next financial year. ... coolers are down by almost 38 to 40% versus our sales last year.
