Volume growth for Q3 and future outlook

I think the time is now coming where we will hopefully get to higher volume growths... aspiration is to get back to double-digit volume growths soon. I think it will take a little bit of time. I don't think it's gonna happen in the next quarter or so...

Levers for margin improvement beyond current levels

I do think that... our cost efficiency programs are best in class... I think that's definitely one pillar which will continue. I do think that as we go forward... it's gonna be important for us to look at how do we keep our margins stable and grow the top line aggressively.

Outlook on pricing and potential price cuts

No, I don't think there's gonna be a need for price hikes, because as you saw in the commodity situation, they have been a little soft... it's an election year. Things will be okay for this year for sure... we'll have to watch the situation carefully and then take actions whichever way it's required.

Size and growth drivers of cheese business

It's not 10% of our business... It's grown 10%... The objective will be to take this business from a really small business at this point in time to be, let's say, at least INR 1,000 crore business in the next five years.

Size and performance of e-commerce business

It today is about 2.9%-3% of our total business, which is not big, but if you think about it, we started from 1% a few years ago, and from there we've come to 2.93%. It's a business which is, you know, also profitable.

Pack growth vs volume growth and which metric to track

The volume growth is 5.5. This will probably be in the... I don't know the exact number, but it'll be in the range of 3, 3, 3.5-ish. So, so that's where it stands.

Sustainability of 19%+ EBITDA margins and competitive intensity

There is competitive intensity from local players... we will have to look at what is the best way of doing this, and how do we grow the profit, but without really focusing as much on the percentage.

Revenue growth composition and margin outlook

Our contribution from adjacent businesses has to grow much faster than base business... I would say at least 50% higher than what we grow our base business... I would say 19 is our peak... I would say more in the space of growing the profit on an overall basis through a more aggressive top line growth.

Sequential price cuts and margin impact

Not 4-5, maybe 2-3... versus last year, it'll probably be 4, but from a quarter-on-quarter basis, maybe 2-2.5%.

Market share gains by geography and new plant status

Our gains this year from a geographic standpoint has been from the Hindi belt predominantly... Our factory in UP has got four lines of biscuits, and we set up one line for rusk... Bihar, we set up one new factory... three lines.

Urban vs rural growth and distribution reach

Yes, that's true. We've not seen rural growths the way we've seen them in the last 10 years... The pace of growth as far as distribution, as you go higher, you tend to have less opportunity for growth... we still have the potential to grow this by at least 1 million more outlets.

Margin outlook for Q4 and FY25

We never give forward-looking forecast. So, you know, we, I will not be able to give you any number out there... Objective will be to maintain margins and grow our business aggressively.
