Overall volumes de-grew by 4.4% as Prestige & Above volumes were down 3.7% YoY impacted by front loading in Q1 (called-out in Q1), high base due to festive inventory build-up and muted demand.

Ebitda margin came in at 17.8% driven by headline pricing, continued revenue growth management and productivity initiatives off-setting inflation.

Festive season and openingup of Andhra market are positives going forward but with slowdown in urban market we will have to be watchful about any negative surprise.
