Focusing on maintaining or slightly improving margins: Dabur

In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Lalit Malik, CFO of Dabur India spoke about the latest happenings in his company and sector.

Malik said sentiments and demands are improving post goods and services tax (GST). However, sales not back at pre-GST levels yet, he added.

He further said that the industry will take time to get used to GST norms.

Distributors are complying with GST provisions, he added. Therefore, see no breaking of distribution chain for company, he further mentioned.
