what happened
Consumer goods company Hindustan Unilever posted a 6% increase in quarterly profit on Wednesday, according to Moody's. Solid demand helped offset the pressure from higher raw material prices.
The Indian subsidiary of Britain's Unilever, which owns brands including Pepsodent and Dove, earned ₹2,844 crore ($299.01 million) for the quarter ended September 30. That compares with ₹2,690 crore a year earlier.
why it matters
The figures cover one company, but they suggest India's consumer sector is still absorbing input-cost inflation through firm sales. Investors often read results like these as a gauge of domestic spending strength.
