GODREJIND

Corrects attribution in paragraph 7 to Nadir Godrej, not Rahul Saraf

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Indian real estate-to-dairy conglomerate Godrej Industries is eyeing acquisitions in the consumer goods and animal feed sectors despite the high valuations of young companies, the group chair has said.

Dealmaking in the Indian consumer goods and retail sector has picked up as large groups chase growth, reaching a four-year high for January-September, investment bank Equirus Capital said.

"We are constantly looking for acquisitions," Nadir Godrej told the Reuters Global Markets Forum on Thursday, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

Godrej Consumer Products GOCP.NS last year bought men's grooming brand Muuchstac for about 4.5 billion rupees ($49 million).

Strong demographics, rising consumption and supportive policies continue to attract capital to the world's fourth-largest economy, Rahul Saraf, head of investment banking at Citi India, told the GMF in Davos.

But high valuations are sometimes a pain point.

"Part of the high valuation in India is because it has very high growth rates. You don't have those growth rates in Europe or in America," Nadir Godrej said.

The International Monetary Fund forecasts India's economy will expand more than 7% in fiscal 2026, far outpacing the global average, while its communications department director called the country "a key growth engine for the world".

Nadir Godrej also said the group's food and agri business, Godrej Agrovet GODE.NS, is looking for prospects in the animal feed category, but "never found a really good target" as most peers are regional.

In light of U.S. tariffs on imports from India, the group's consumer business is "working harder in other markets" even though its direct exports to the U.S. are minor, Godrej said.

The group, home to Godrej Properties GODR.NS, does not expect a slowdown in its real estate business, he said. Analysts polled by Reuters say a boom in the luxury housing sector will peter out within five years.

NEW DELHI, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled tax cuts for hundreds of consumer items, from soap to cars, in the biggest overhaul of the goods and services tax (GST), set to take effect from September 22.

Here are key highlights:

MAJOR CHANGES

India will have two key tax rates of 5% and 18% from September 22, versus four now. A new tax slab of 40% will apply to high-end goods, but all additional levies above that are to be abolished, bringing down effective tax rates on mid-size and big cars.

REVENUE LOSS, INFLATION IMPACT

The government estimates the cuts will cause revenue loss of 480 billion rupees ($5.5 billion), far lower than economists' estimate ranging from 1 trillion rupees to 1.8 trillion rupees.

Citi said India's inflation could ease as much as 1.1 percentage points if the cuts are fully passed through to consumers. India's retail inflation rate fell in July to its lowest in eight years.

TAX CUTS ON DAILY ITEMS

A tax panel approved lower GST of 5% on items of everyday use such as packaged food, medicines, toothpaste, fruit, milk products, talcum powder and shampoo, against 12% to 18% now.

The cut is expected to lift the sales of fast-moving consumer goods firms such as Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS, Nestle NEST.NS and Godrej Industries GODI.NS, while lowering costs for farmers.

It will abolish tax on individual life and health insurance products sold by companies such as LIC LIFI.NS, SBI Life Insurance SBIL.NS and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance ICIR.NS.

HOLIDAY BOOST TO SALES

The government has cut taxes on items such as cars, TVs and even cement, which could boost sales during the festival season that typically runs from the last week of September until November. India's tax panel also cut GST on air conditioners, ambulances, dishwashers, three-wheelers and hybrid vehicles.

Carmakers such as Maruti MRTI.NS and Toyota 7203.T, and manufacturers of consumer applicance such as LG Electronics LGEL.NS and Sony 6758.T are set to benefit immediately when the new rates kick in.

The tax panel also lowered the effective tax for big cars to 40% from the current rate of as much as 50%, making cars from Mercedes-Benz AGMBGn.DE, AUDI Aktiengesellschaft and BMW BMWG.DE attractive. GST on EVs was kept at 5%, giving relief to carmakers such as Tata Motors TAMO.NS and Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS after a panel recommended an increase.

The government lowered taxes on fertiliser and tractors to help lower costs for farmers, recently come in the spotlight as Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to protect them following a breakdown in India-U.S. trade talks.

MAIN LOSERS

GST was raised to 18% from 12% on apparel and clothing accessories that cost more than 2,500 rupees, which could hurt global brands such as Marks and Spencer MKS.L, Levi Strauss LEVI.N, and Zara.

The tax on coal went to 18% from 5%, but the effective tax rate on fizzy drinks make by PepsiCo PEP.O and Coca-Cola KO.N was held at 40%.

NEW DELHI, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Indian state and federal ministers will meet for two days from Wednesday to weigh the biggest cuts to consumption tax in eight years, aimed at spurring domestic demand in the face of economic headwinds from U.S. tariffs.

Coupled with cuts in personal tax unveiled in February, the cuts in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) are expected to boost consumption in the South Asian nation, whose economy grew at an unexpectedly higher pace of 7.8% in the quarter to June.

A panel on the tax, headed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman with ministers from all Indian states, will decide on a plan to cut the tax on more than 400 items, ranging from hair oil to small cars.

"With U.S. tariffs clouding exports in textiles, autos and possibly pharmaceuticals, India must pivot towards domestic consumption as the primary growth engine," said Manoj Mishra, a partner at Grant Thornton Bharat LLP.

The move is expected to boost sales of FMCG firms such as Hindustan Unilever and Godrej Industries, and consumer electronics companies such as Samsung Electronics 005930.KS, LG Electronics 066570.KS and Sony 6758.T.

Among automakers Maruti, Toyota Motor 7203.T and Suzuki Motor 7269.T are expected to be big winners.

The rush to cut the tax was triggered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for greater self-reliance, when he vowed to lower GST by October, aiming to counter the U.S. tariffs of up to 50%.

TWO RATES INSTEAD OF FOUR

The ministers will consider a two-rate structure of 5% and 18%, instead of four now, with additional tax bands of 12% and 28%. It will also consider a higher tax of 40% on some luxury and "sin" goods such as cigarettes.

The plan is to sweep into the 5% category all items of daily use now in the category of 12%.

The panel will also consider lowering taxes on consumer items such as toothpaste and shampoo to 5% from 18%, and on small cars, air conditioners, and televisions to 18% from 28%.

Economists expect the cuts to cost $21 billion in revenue losses, with states set to lose more than the federal government.

While the states are broadly on board, there could be heated discussion on ways to make up their loss of revenue.

The panel is likely to discuss raising taxes on high end electric vehicles priced at more than 2 million rupees.

It will also consider raising tax to 18% from 12% on apparel priced above 2,500 rupees ($29), which would affect the premium offerings of Marks and Spencer MKS.L, Levi Strauss LEVI.N, and Zara.

Taxes on air travel in the premium and business classes could also go to 18% from 12%.

MUMBAI, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Godrej Properties GODR.NS, the real estate unit of India's Godrej Industries GODI.NS, is set to tap the corporate bond market later this month with its largest issue to date, three sources aware of the matter said.

The real estate developer is likely to raise around 20 billion rupees ($230 million) through the sale of shorter duration bonds, with a maturity of three to five years, the sources said last week.

"The company could look to tap the market after the central bank's monetary policy decision this week, in the hope that yields ease further," one of the sources said.

All the sources requested anonymity as the talks are private. Godrej Properties did not reply to a Reuters email seeking comment.

The bonds are rated 'AA+', and this will be the company's first bond issuance in nearly a year.

Last September, it had raised around 650 million rupees through the sale of five-year bonds at an annual coupon of 8.50%.

Godrej Properties has borrowed 25 billion rupees through bonds since September 2023. The upcoming sale would take its outstanding issuances to 45 billion rupees.

The Mumbai-based firm last month acquired around 50 acres of land for premium plotted residential units in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 20 (Reuters) - India's economic slowdown is not expected to show up in the country's housing market, Godrej Industries Group Chairperson Nadir Godrej said in an interview on Monday.

Godrej, an Indian conglomerate which mainly targets the "middle category" of India's housing sector, is keeping a close watch on its debt given the cyclical nature of the business and is hopeful of riding out a potential down cycle, he added.

India forecast its slowest economic growth in four years for the year ending March, weeks after the country's central bank lowered its growth outlook for the next financial year.

Middle class Indians in the country's major cities are already cutting spending due to persistent inflation.

A slowdown is not evident in the housing sector, which struggles during downturns, and nor is one imminent, Godrej told the Reuters Global Markets Forum on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

A Reuters poll published last month forecast house prices in India will rise steadily over the coming years, driven mainly by demand from wealthy individuals. But rising inflation will make owning a property unattainable for most.

Godrej's group, which has annual revenue of more than $6 billion, includes Godrej Properties GODR.NS as well as animal feed and vegetable oil manufacturer Godrej Agrovet GODE.NS and Cinthol soapmaker Godrej Consumer Products GOCP.NS.

Godrej said India's rural economy is improving due to an increase in consumption in villages.

BENGALURU, August 1 (Reuters) - India's Godrej Agrovet GODE.NS reported a 28.3% rise in first-quarter profit on Thursday, helped by falling input costs.

Consolidated net profit rose to 1.35 billion rupees ($16.1 million) for the three months ended June 30 from 1.05 billion rupees a year earlier.

During the quarter, which saw parts of the country experiencing heatwaves and floods, prices of food, which account for nearly half of India's retail inflation, rose more than 8% each month, adding pressure on the spending power of the rural consumers.

Godrej Agrovet's total revenue from operations fell 6.4% to 23.51 billion rupees while total expenses fell nearly 8%, led by a fall in the cost of materials consumed.

The animal feed business, which includes cattle and fish feed and forms nearly half of the company's revenue, fell 10%.

Revenue from crop protection and poultry and processed food businesses declined 4.6% and 24.5%, respectively, while dairy and vegetable oil saw a slight uptick.

As part of its expansion plans, Godrej Agrovet will set up a new feed plant in Maharashtra state with an initial investment of 1.10 billion rupees.

Its shares ended 3.9% lower.

Corrects to "agrees" from "agree" in headline

BENGALURU, May 1 (Reuters) - India's Godrej family has decided to restructure its shareholding in the conglomerate to operate as two entities, Godrej Enterprises and Godrej Industries, according to a filing late on Tuesday.

The realignment will be implemented after the relevant regulatory approvals have been obtained, after which the two companies will continue to use the Godrej brand, it added.

Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) will be headed by 75-year-old Jamshyd Godrej as chairperson and managing director and his niece Nyrika Holkar as executive director.

GEG operates across aerospace, aviation, defence and liquid engines among others.

Jamshyd Godrej was earlier serving as managing director and chairman of Godrej & Boyce, the privately held company, founded in 1897.

Nadir Godrej, 73, will serve as chairperson of Godrej Industries Group (GIG), which operates via listed companies including Godrej Industries GODI.NS, Godrej Consumer Products GOCP.NS, Godrej Properties GODR.NS, Godrej Agrovet GODE.NS and Astec Lifesciences ASTE.NS. GIG will be controlled by Nadir's brother Adi Godrej and their immediate family.

82-year-old Adi Godrej stepped down as chairman of Godrej Industries in August 2021, handing over the reign to his brother, Nadir Godrej.

Adi Godrej's son Pirojsha Godrej will be named chairperson of GIG, succeeding Nadir Godrej in August 2026.
