FMCG major Emami has reported strong earnings for the quarter ended March. Naresh H Bhansali, CEO of Emami, says that the firm's domestic business, particularly direct rural business has been very strong, on the back of which the company has posted a 13 per cent volume growth. Emami saw a de-growth in its international business but despite subdued international business, expects continued margin expansion in the coming quarters on the back of cost optimisation and benign input prices.
