Demand trajectory slightly improved sequentially in March quarter: Dabur

Demand trajectory across urban and rural markets in India has shown a "slight improvement" sequentially in the March quarter, although it falls short of a full recover, FMCG major Dabur said.

"While urban markets have returned to positive volume growth, rural markets still remain muted," said Dabur in its latest quarter updates.
