Godrej Consumer warns of short term margin pain as crude costs rise

Godrej Consumer Products Ltd expects margin pressure over the next few quarters as elevated crude oil prices raise input costs. The company says the current inflation cycle is manageable and believes revenue will still grow despite the squeeze. Analysts note the hit could be less disruptive than earlier commodity spikes, keeping investors focused on pricing power and volume momentum.
