Summary
BusinessLine reported that rising input costs squeezed Pricol's margins in Q2, the second quarter of India's financial year, which runs from July to September. The company expects the pressure to continue for a few more quarters, the outlet said. Margins are the share of revenue left after costs; when input costs rise, that share shrinks unless a company raises prices or cuts other costs. The headline gives no figures for the margin, revenue or profit, and does not name the inputs that became costlier. It also does not say how many quarters the company expects the pressure to last. Q2 means the July to September quarter, the second of the four quarters in India's financial year, which starts in April.
