MARICO LTD shares fell 2.7% after the firm warned of shrinking margins despite a 14% rise in quarterly profit to 3.91 billion rupees. Revenue in India rose 22% to 33.33 billion rupees, slightly exceeding analyst estimates of 33.13 billion rupees. Rising input costs from crude oil prices are forcing consumer goods leaders to consider price hikes to protect profitability.
