The stay was granted on August 7, four days after the food regulator issued the order. The affected claims involved honey, ghee and coconut water. Dabur reported FY26 sales of ₹13,193 crore, with 73% from India and 27% from international markets.

Aug 3 (Reuters) - India's food safety regulator on Monday issued an order to Dabur India DABU.NS prohibiting the sale of food products with misleading "100%" claims.

Here are more details:

• The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in a social media post said products sold on Dabur's website claimed some of its products were "100% Natural", "100% Pure" and "100% Organic", which were ambiguous, unverifiable and likely to mislead consumers.

• FSSAI's prohibition order covers products including honey, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, cow ghee, coconut water and coconut milk.

• It also said some products displayed the "Jaivik Bharat" logo, a certification introduced by the FSSAI identifying organic food, without valid FSSAI endorsement.

• Despite an earlier notice directing discontinuation of misleading "100%" claims, Dabur did not take corrective action, the regulator said.

• FSSAI also directed Dabur to submit an 'Action Taken Report' within 15 days.

BENGALURU, June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an import alert for drugs manufactured at one of Dabur India's DABU.NS plants following an inspection, the consumer goods company said on Thursday.

CHENNAI/BENGALURU, June 8 (Reuters) - From smaller packs on shelves to higher prices at checkout, Indian companies are scrambling to protect their margins as surging oil, freight and insurance costs - and strained household budgets - pile on pressure.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has disrupted trade routes and lifted input costs globally, hitting import-reliant economies like India harder, where a weaker rupee is adding to inflation and complicating pricing decisions as demand remains uneven.

"We are among the world's most vulnerable countries," economist Jayati Ghosh said, warning higher oil and fertiliser costs, weaker Gulf demand, softer remittances and potential capital outflows could stoke inflation and slow growth.

Consumer goods makers Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS, Godrej Consumer Products GOCP.NS and Dabur India DABU.NS have already rolled out low- to mid-single-digit price hikes across categories, with Britannia BRIT.NS preparing similar moves.

Pricing power remains weak in mass segments, with companies holding the line on 10- to 20-rupee (11- to 21-cent) packs and shrinking product sizes instead of raising prices outright.

"We are reducing grammage because we can't breach those price points," said Mohit Malhotra, global CEO at Dabur.

Automakers Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS, Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles TAMO.NS and Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS have also hiked prices.

"We were left with no choice," said Partho Banerjee, Maruti's senior executive officer for marketing and sales, adding that raising prices was not good for customers, especially first-time buyers.

Airlines IndiGo INGL.NS and Air India are trimming capacity, especially on fuel-heavy international routes, and increasing fares to offset higher aviation fuel costs.

Consumers are feeling the squeeze.

"I have no family to feed, no school fees, and no monthly payments on a car. I'm still watching my spending as prices are up for almost everything, from travel to packaged food," said Aditi Anjana, a Mumbai-based communications professional who is in her 30s.

BELT-TIGHTENING MODE

With limited room to pass on costs, companies are turning inward and cutting costs to cushion margins.

Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS has cut advertising spend, while others are trimming non-essential travel and marketing costs.

"The scope for further cost-cutting is gradually narrowing," Axis Direct analyst Uttam Kumar Srimal said, adding prolonged commodity and fuel inflation could force sharper price hikes or margin hits.

Sectors with high global exposure, including aviation, oil and gas, chemicals, logistics and capital goods, may remain under margin pressure, said Shweta Rajani, associate director at Anand Rathi Wealth.

RESETTING SUPPLY CHAINS

Firms are also reworking supply chains to manage disruptions. Companies with Middle East exposure are rerouting shipments, diversifying sourcing, and shifting production.

Dabur, an Indian rival of Colgate-Palmolive, is using alternative routes via Egypt and Turkey, while packaged goods maker Britannia is bringing some production back home.

Some firms are also front-loading purchases and closely tracking demand to avoid overstocking, underscoring tighter working capital discipline.

Arvind Fashions ARVF.NS has advanced inventory buys to lock in costs and is relying more on local suppliers, while Tata Group retailer Trent TREN.NS is tweaking raw materials, packaging, and product development.

"My priority is not to take prices up," said Umashan Naidoo, head of customer and beauty at Trent, which offers Gen-Z-focused affordable trendwear through its brand ​Zudio.

May 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has flagged data integrity, manufacturing and maintenance lapses at one of Dabur India's DABU.NS plants following an inspection earlier this year, according to an inspection report.

Dabur is one of India's oldest and largest consumer goods companies, describing itself as one of the world’s largest suppliers of Ayurvedic products with a legacy of over 140 years. It sells a range of over-the-counter and consumer health products in the United States, including cough and cold rubs, antifungal creams, pain relief gels and oral care products.

The findings, issued after the FDA inspected the company's factory in the country's western region of Dadra and Nagar Haveli in January, said some units in the facility posed risks of microbiological contamination.

The report also said critical manufacturing records were falsified to conceal that equipment meant to make certain products had been used for multiple other products.

A live bird and bird droppings were found in the raw material warehouse, about 30 feet from packaging materials. An apparent unidentified black substance was also seen covering more than 25% of ceiling surfaces in both the raw material warehouse and the finished drug product storage warehouse, according to the report, which was made public earlier this week.

The findings come amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of Indian drugmakers over quality controls for medicines and health products exported to the United States, their largest overseas market.

The FDA inspector also questioned the reliability of testing at the plant, noting that although microbiology test results were reported as within limits, significant contamination was observed in multiple samples during the inspection.

Dabur did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Following a form 483, which is issued after a U.S. FDA inspection, companies usually respond to the regulator with corrective steps taken to address the concerns.

The report also said management had not reviewed drug production and quality records to determine compliance with regulatory requirements before batches were released to the market, and cited deficiencies in equipment cleaning and maintenance procedures.

May 7 (Reuters) - India's Dabur DABU.NS beat expectations for quarterly profit on Thursday, helped by steady domestic demand and benefits from consumption tax cuts, even as its international business faced pressure amid the Middle East war.

The consumer goods maker posted a profit of 3.69 billion rupees ($39.15 million) for the fourth quarter ended March 31, compared to 3.2 billion rupees, a year earlier.

Analysts, on average, were expecting 3.6 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.

March 3 - By Ira Dugal, Editor Financial News, with global Reuters staff

Just when things seemed to be finally going right for the $3.8 trillion Indian economy, war has broken out between Iran and U.S.-Israel and engulfed other parts of the Middle East, bringing to the fore risks to the South Asian nation's external sector that have not been fully priced in.

PRESSURE ON OIL COSTS

With the overhang of U.S. tariffs lifted recently, the Indian economy has been chugging along at a strong pace of growth with low inflation. But the Iran versus U.S.-Israel military conflict threatens to upend it.

The risks of an extended conflict in the Middle East, analysts say, could range from higher commodity prices to lower worker remittances and disruptions to businesses that have diversified to the flourishing economies in the region.

"A prolonged conflict, alongside a large jump in energy prices, would be a major macro negative (for India)," brokerage Jefferies said in a note on Monday.

The region accounts for 17% of India's exports, provides 55% of crude oil and 38% of worker remittances, it said.

Oil prices surged 8% on Monday following the military strikes over the weekend, with Brent crude LCOc1 for a while trading above $82 a barrel.

Prices could spike to $100 per barrel, Barclays said.

Global energy markets could face one of their gravest crises in decades with the scale of disruption likely to be determined by the duration of the conflict, Reuters Open Interest columnist Ron Bousso wrote. Read that piece here.

India could be among the most vulnerable if higher oil prices are sustained, analysts said. Read here to understand why. Government officials said on Monday steps will be taken to ensure local fuel supplies.

Every $10 per barrel increase in oil prices widens India's current account deficit to GDP ratio by 0.5%, Mumbai-based brokerage Emkay Global Financial Services said. It can add up to 35 basis points to retail inflation and hit GDP growth by 15-20 basis points, the brokerage added.

Nomura economists said that an extended increase in fuel costs could prompt governments in the region to use higher subsidies and lower taxes to protect consumers from the impact.

"Higher oil prices solidify the case for central banks to stay on hold," Nomura said.

Disruption of crucial sea routes could also hurt. Roughly a third of global seaborne crude oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with most volumes destined for economies such as China, India, Japan and South Korea, Moody's Analytics said.

An added risk for India is another spurt in already-high gold prices. Together oil and gold accounted for nearly a third of India's import bill in value terms in the current financial year till January.

Indian asset markets reflected these risks in Monday's trading, with equities and the rupee sliding and bond yields rising.

WORKER REMITTANCES MAY DWINDLE

India is walking a tightrope in the conflict, boasting historical cultural ties with Iran and strong strategic relations with Israel. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem last week.

Weakness in the economies of Middle East nations could also hit large remittances that India gets from workers in the region, while putting businesses at risk.

Larsen and Toubro LART.NS, India's largest engineering and construction company, has nearly 40% of its engineering, procurement and construction order book coming from the region, Jefferies said. A few consumer goods companies, such as Dabur DABU.NS and Titan TITN.NS, along with pharma firms, also have material revenues linked to the Middle East, it said.

Additionally, airlines and tourism companies could be at risk of hits to profits if oil prices remain high and travel remains disrupted.

Extended uncertainty could also weigh on the near 10 million Indian workers in the Middle East, according to government data, many of whom send earnings home, boosting household finances and acting as a major source of foreign currency inflows into India.

The widening of the conflict across the region could slow down remittances, said Emkay Global, adding, though, that this was not their base case.

MARKET MATTERS

India's economy grew at 7.8% in the October-December period and is seen expanding at 7.6% in the current financial year, according to data released by the government under a revamped GDP series.

Read here for the key takeaways and catch up on views from economists here.

The new series is expected to provide a clearer read on the economy as it widens the sources of information, shifts to a more technically sound way of computing real GDP growth and updates the base year.

THIS WEEK'S MUST-READ

Technical incidents such as engine oil and fuel leaks affecting Air India flights reached their highest rate in at least 14 months in January, Reuters' Abhijith Ganapavaram and Aditya Kalra reported.

The airline in December admitted there was a "need for urgent improvements in process discipline, communication, and compliance culture".

In January, Air India recorded 1.09 technical incidents per 1,000 flights, quadrupling from levels of just 0.26 in December 2024.

Feb 11 (Reuters) - Indian consumer goods maker Patanjali Foods PAFO.NS reported an almost 60% rise in third-quarter profit on Wednesday, aided by steady edible oils sales and tax cuts that increased consumer demand.

The Sunrich brand oil maker's profit rose to 5.93 billion rupees ($65.33 million) for the three months ended December 31, up from 3.71 billion rupees a year earlier.

Demand for edible oil has remained strong over the past few quarters even as other consumer goods have faced a slowdown, as it is a staple for cooking in the world's most populous country.

Revenue from Patanjali's edible oils segment, which makes up about 70% of the company's total revenue, rose about 9% to 73.36 billion rupees.

That led to nearly 17% growth in overall revenue to 104.84 billion rupees.

“Driven by disciplined execution of our business strategies over recent quarters, the Company achieved its strongest financial performance to date across multiple metrics, even amid a dynamic operating environment," CEO Sanjeev Asthana said.

Revenue from the food and fast-moving consumer goods segment rose nearly 40%, helped by tax cuts.

Indian consumer goods makers such as Britannia BRIT.NS, ITC ITC.NS and Dabur DABU.NS have been seeing a gradual recovery in demand, after several quarters of pressure, aided by the tax cuts and slowing inflation.

Earlier in the month, larger peer Adani Wilmar ADAW.NS reported a slump in quarterly profit as it took a large one-off gain in the year-ago period due to sharp commodity price increases.
