ECONOMIC OUTLOOK, RISKS & OPPORTUNITES

The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) July 2026 World Economic Outlook projects global growth at 3% in 2026. Growth is expected to be 3.4% in 2027. This represents a V-shaped recovery pattern with a minor slowdown this year, balancing geo-political conflict shocks against artificial intelligence tech booms. The IMF also projects that global headline inflation is expected to rise to 4.7% in 2026 up from 4.1% in 2025, before declining to 3.9% in 2027.

India is expected to remain the world's fastest growing major economy, with growth projected at 6.4% in 2026-27, driven by strong domestic demand. While the Indian economy continues to grow stronger amidst global peers, one must, however, keep an eye on the evolving global trade policies and commodity prices which will impact inflation produced.

Within the Indian Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, trends continue to evolve. While non-food Inflation continues to stay below RBI's medium-term target of 4%, consumer consumption trends are still shifting. While rural consumption continues to be higher than the urban consumption, we are seeing a softening trend driven by uptick in the inflation rates. Based on reports and economic analysis as of early 2026, the FMCG sector is expected to experience a stabilization phase, entering a period of renewed optimism, with projections focusing on volume-led growth rather than price-driven expansion. Consumption trends remain supportive.

Urban demand continues to anchor growth, aided by premiumisation across categories.

In this environment, the Company continues to hold a cautiously optimistic outlook for the future and is well positioned to sustain and improve its performance with its integrated growth strategy and serve the consumers with superior products.
