Hindustan Unilever will continue calibrated price hikes as the West Asia conflict and high oil prices keep commodity costs elevated, CEO Priya Nair said. The FMCG major raised prices by an average 7.5% in the July-September quarter, yet underlying volume growth hit a 14-quarter high. Nair said the focus remains on volumes, revenue and absolute profit.
