HUL lifts prices 5% and flags more hikes as inflation bites
Hindustan Unilever raised product prices by 5% in Q1, citing inflation from the West Asia conflict and commodity spikes. Despite a 10% revenue surge — its strongest in 13 quarters — profit fell 2% as higher costs squeezed margins, and the company signaled further price increases. This underscores persistent inflation pressure on India’s consumer market.
