In an interview with CNBC-TV18, TT Jagannathan, Chairman, TTK Prestige, explained that the company may see a 50-60 basis points reduction in the fiscal year 2023 margin due to the rise in raw material costs.
On further price hikes, he said, "That (price hikes) would depend on what happens to the raw material prices, in the future. So far, the price hikes have covered the cost increases, and then there might be a small reduction in margins in FY23, but not significant, by maybe 50-60 basis points (bps)."
"In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the retail is good, and demand is robust across nearly all segments. He added that the market is currently at 30 percent of pre-pandemic levels. People are buying more premium products," said Jagannathan.
"People are going into premium brands, premium products. And this has happened not only in our industry but also in the car industry, the TV industry; it's happened everywhere," he said.
