Is the strong double-digit hair oil growth a one-off? Can it continue?

growth of the category has been driven by value growth, which is price increases... volume growths are pretty muted in the category. Around 3%-4% is the kind of volume growth for the category. But overall, value growths are in the high double digits.

Miswak and Herbal don't have any base effect, so base itself is pretty low. And both the brands are showing great traction in the marketplace on back of a lot of advertising work...

Why is there a big gap between primary and secondary in Chyawanprash? Will Q4 recover?

tertiary sales have increased by 11%... why the primary has been low is because last year there were some carry-forward stocks which we had to liquidate... quarter four will give you a very high double-digit growth

Will volume-led growth next year mean lower sales growth but higher margin expansion?

next year it should be more volume given the GST tailwinds... we will have headroom to improve our operating margins... we see that tailwinds in volume with some price increases

there has been acceleration in the growth in toothpaste also... oral care step up is not as high because the price increase element in oral care is not as much as in hair oils.
