Q What is FMCG?
-FMCG stands for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods. FMCG products are items that
are in high demand, sold quickly, and are affordable. They are also known as
consumer-packaged goods (CPG) or convenience goods.
-The FMCG sector in India expanded due to consumer-driven growth and higher
product prices, especially for essential goods. FMCG sector provides employment
to around 3 million people accounting for approximately 5% of the total factory
employment in India. FMCG sales in the country grew 7-9% by revenues in 2022-
23.
-The FMCG industry in India is expected to grow between 4.5-6.5% in 2024, on the
back of continued strength in the sector and the Indian economy.

COMBINED COST SHEET (FY20-24)
Page | 10
Analysis –
1.Raw Material Consumption-
o FY20: ₹12,861.69 million (highest consumption in 5 years).
o FY24: ₹4,485.64 million (lowest consumption).
o Sharp declines in FY21 and FY24, implying potential disruptions or strategic
shifts.
Key Observations -
Opening Stock: It has been consistently increasing from ₹5,423.39 million
(FY20) to ₹6,937.54 million (FY24), which indicates the holding of a higher
inventory at the beginning of each year.
Purchases: Significant swings, showing the FY20 peak at ₹13,121.76 mn and
a low of ₹6,042.97 mn in FY24. The trend suggests a shift in purchase strategy
or market factors influencing raw material availability.
Closing Stock: An up-trend, but FY24 shows a steep increase to ₹8,494.87
mn. High closing stock in FY24 is suggestive of low production, lower demand,
or merely due to holding stock.
2. Excise Duty-
o The steep rise in excise duty from FY20 to FY21 may reflect increased tax
rates on cigarettes, often a government strategy for revenue generation and
discouraging consumption.
o The consistent rise from FY22 to FY24 suggests higher tax burdens, possibly
driven by sin taxes or increasing cigarette prices to offset these duties.
3. Prime Cost-
o The prime cost is also similar in form to raw material consumption but is
comparatively lower due to fewer productions and sales in the pandemic
year, FY21.
Page | 11
o Comparative rise in FY22 might be the case of bouncing back after COVID
effect as demand will have bounced back.
o Decline in FY24 can be considered a reduction in volume or more competition
in the market.
4. Gross Factory Cost-
o Power and Fuel: Increased sharply over the 5 years, from ₹744.55 crore in
FY20 to ₹1083.65 crore in FY24. It increased sharply in FY23 to ₹1199.84
crore. The increase in Power and Fuel costs corresponds with the rise in
energy prices and potential inflationary pressures during FY23, which mirrors
broader macroeconomic challenges.
o Maintenance: Increased gradually from ₹278.09 crore during FY20 to ₹349.74
crore in FY24 with slight dips (eg, FY21). This could be attributed to aging
infrastructure or increased maintenance requirements.
o Insurance: Fluctuated slightly but remained relatively stable. It peaked at
₹132.43 crore in FY23 and then dipped slightly in FY24. This was an indication
of effective risk management.
o Gross Factory Cost: It experienced big fluctuations; its sharp drop during
FY21 ₹10098.43 cr against FY20; it picked up in FY22 and FY23 but dropped
once again during FY24 at ₹10712.92 cr
5. Net Working Cost-
o Opening Stock WIP: The opening stock value is increasing every year (FY20:
₹245.37 Cr to FY24: ₹263.47 Cr), and it shows that the inventory on hand at
the beginning of the year is rising steadily.
o Closing Stock WIP: Closing stock also increases consistently (from ₹178.55
Cr in FY20 to ₹322.1 Cr in FY24), though at a marginally faster rate than
opening stock. This would imply higher levels of unfinished goods are being
held at the end of the year.

o Training and Development:
Training and development costs declined sharply until FY23, and then
increased significantly in FY24. This could be a reflection of cost-cutting
measures in earlier years or a shift in business strategy, which was then re-
invested in employee skills and development.
o Information Technology Services:
IT services costs are quite high, meaning that the company is investing in the
technology infrastructure. The decrease in FY21 and FY22 might indicate cost-
cutting measures or the completion of major IT projects; however, the steep
rise in FY23 and FY24 indicates an up-gradation of the systems, more
extensive needs for IT, or a more intense level of digitalization.
o Postage, Telephone, etc.
The cost is relatively stable with minor fluctuations. This could indicate that
the communication and logistical needs have been fairly constant.
o Consultancy/Professional Fees:
Consultancy and professional fees are a straight line in earlier years but then
increased in FY24. It could be a situation where the company had cut back on
external consulting or professional services during the period of cost cutting,
but it was then resuming those services as operations picked up or changed.
o Legal Expenses:
Legal costs are highly volatile and have increased materially in FY24. This
might be due to a change in regulatory compliance costs, legal disputes, or a
new business venture that the company is undertaking.
o Rent:
Rent has followed a relatively stable trend. It has gone down in FY21 and then
returned to previous levels. This might indicate a shift in real estate strategy,
such as consolidation of locations or renegotiation of rental agreements.
Page | 14
o Rates and Taxes:
There is a considerable decline in FY21 and then a sharp upsurge in FY24. This
would be indicative of a change in taxations, imposition of new regulations, or
an upward revision of the real estate prices.
