The markets in India were holding on to their gains near their fresh lifetime highs today(5th Feb.2021) after the Reserve Bank of India kept the repo rate unchanged at 4 percent while the stance remained 'accommodative'. Besides, the RBI projected GDP growth of 10.5 percent in FY22 for India while the projection for CPI-based inflation was revised to 5.2 percent for Q4FY21. The S&P BSE Sensex was trading 400 points up and hovered near the 51,000 levels while the Nifty50 was around the 15,000 marks as well. One hundred and forty-seven companies including Britannia Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra, Punjab National Bank, Mrs. Bectors Food, Fortis Healthcare, Pfizer, and Shipping Corporation of India are scheduled to release their December quarter numbers today.
As India gets on its feet amid ease in Covid-19-induced restrictions, and out-of-home consumption picks up, FMCG firm Britannia Industries’ bottom-line earnings may come under pressure owing to weaker sales on a quarterly basis, and increase in input costs.
