❑ Expect to sustain the Q3FY24 volume momentum

Outlook for Q4FY24

❑ Satisfactory monsoon coupled with uptick in Government spending and moderating inflation likely

to bring in positivity for rural economy

❑ Softer raw material price trend witnessed in the first nine months to persist in Q4FY24

❑ Remain confident on further growth in our Industrial Business and optimistic on scaling up our

Home Décor foray

❑ Macro-economic headwinds expected to persist across some of our International geographies;

especially South Asia, Egypt

❑ Need to remain vigilant on geo-political developments and its potential fallouts
