consumer goods maker Dabur said in a third quarter update on Thursday that it expects consolidated revenue to register mid to high single-digit growth, a slight improvement over the July-September quarter. The maker of Real juice, Hommade condiments and chyawanprash noted in a filing to the stock exchanges that its foods and beverages segment would lead growth in the quarter, usually the best performer in the October-December quarter due to the festive season and its juices portfolio. Dabur said the third quarter has been better than expectations, also driven by its acquired Badshah masala franchise and its international business. The company, which derives almost half of its annual sales from rural India, however, noted that demand in the hinterland continues to be a concern for the company. Rural demand has continued to lag behind urban demand, though the gap has reduced in the last quarter.
