Zydus Wellness CEO links West Asia tensions to rising oil costs and inflation
What happened
Tarun Arora, chief executive officer at Zydus Wellness, stated that inflation is causing prices to move toward pre-GST 2.0 levels. He attributed this inflation to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have pushed up raw material costs, specifically crude oil and its derivatives.
Why it matters
Geopolitical tensions in West Asia are driving up crude oil and derivative prices. This inflation is forcing FMCG companies to partially pass on price increases to protect demand, while also posing risks to consumer demand during the festive season.
