French liquor company Pernod Ricard SA has registered 9% sales growth in its India business from July to December 2017, driven by double-digit growth in its strategic international brands and strategic wines product portfolios.
The company follows a July to June calendar.
The company’s performance was not as impressive in the same six month period last year as it had clocked a much slower 3% growth.
“H1 FY18 (July to December 2017) was a very good semester with an acceleration versus FY17, in particular in China, India and global travel retail,” Alexandre Ricard, chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement on the company’s website.
