Emkay Global said, ''We expect growth to moderate to 2% over FY19-21E mainly due to price hikes stemming from regulatory changes. Going forward, lower scale, partial absorption of regulatory costs and marketing spends should restrict margin expansion, in our view. We cut our FY20/21E EPS by 15% to 14% to Rs15 to Rs 16.8, mainly due to a 9% reduction in volume assumptions. The volume outlook has deteriorated due to the weak start of monsoons and a lack of government support in the recent budget.''

As far as the consolidated total income is concerned, the company stood at Rs 5,026.27 crore during the quarter as against Rs 4,626.15 crore in the year-ago period.
