The company’s revenue in the April-June quarter also jumped 5 percent to Rs 1,100 crore as compared to Rs 1,050 crore it had reported in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
 
Commenting on the Q1 results, lssam Bachaalani managing director at Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd in a statement said, “The current quarter saw a moderation in demand impacted by lower than expected growth in the rural markets. We do consider this trend to be temporary and expect a pickup over the coming quarters.”

“Despite the moderation, the company continues to remain focussed on strengthening the core of our business and investing in our advertising and brand building activities,” he added.
 
CPIL is one of the leading players in India’s personal care segment with a strong portfolio of brands in the grooming segment. Last year, the company had invested Rs 18 crore to pick up a strategic stake in men’s grooming firm Bombay Shaving Company.
