Deteriorating

While annual performance remains stable, the Q4 results reflect a significant sequential drag caused by non-operating losses and a dip in operating margins.

The company faces a challenging environment characterized by sluggish sales growth and regulatory fee pressures. However, its strong brand equity under the Aditya Birla Group and robust distribution network provide a stable long-term base.
