Before that last year in August and in November also we hiked our prices. Our next price hike will be in November, and it will be a 2-3 per cent increase”. Kaul also informed that earlier they used to hike the prices twice by a nominal 5 to 3 percent each time annually so as to combat the basic inflation.
The Chief executive of the company also said that prices are affected due to the weak sentiment of the market, but assured that it wasn’t alarmed by it yet. Kaul also said that their 22 percent same slide sale in comparison to 30 percent in the earlier quarter had faded out.
