FMCG major Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) witnessed a 5 percent increase in consolidated net profit at Rs 528 crore for the third quarter ended December 2021, as against a net profit of Rs 503 crore it posted in the year-ago period.
 

The company’s revenue for the quarter rose by 8 percent to Rs 3,303 crore, as against Rs 3,055 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal.

While overall sales grew by 8 per cent, and we remain on track to achieve double-digit sales growth for the full year, it was driven entirely by price-led growth.”
