<p>ITC Chairman and Managing director Sanijv Puri stated that the company is witnessing signs of volume growth as inflation begins to ease. He said that the trend is expected to continue over the forthcoming quarters, PTI reported.</p>

<p>According to Puri, this would undoubtedly result in an increase in volume, but it won't happen immediately. Puri made this statement in New Delhi, outside of the B20 Summit, which was hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).</p>

<p>Puri commented on the ITC’s decision to demerge its hotel division, saying that by creating a wholly-owned new subsidiary, ITC Hotels Ltd., it will benefit the current shareholders.</p>

<p>“It will be a pure-play, focused on hospitality, which can leverage the institutional strengths of ITC. And ITC in turn will be able to leverage the synergy on its hospitality business, or its FMCG businesses,” PTI quoted Puri as saying.</p>

<p>It is a “very robust” strategy that will help the hotel industry advance faster while maintaining synergies, and it will boost ITC’s financial KPIs, he added.</p>

<p>According to Puri, there are two main causes of inflation: the first is the increase in foreign geopolitical variables, and the second is the problems with climate change.</p>

<p>“However, now, India is much better placed in the rest of the world and I would like to compliment the government for stewarding management of inflation and being extremely proactive in taking the right steps to control that,” he said.</p>

<p>ITC and several other FMCG manufacturers have reported volume growth and profitability improvement for the June quarter. Aashirvaad, Bingo, Sunfeast, YiPPee, Fiama, Vivel, and Savlon are just a few of ITC’s 25 brands.</p>

<p>Puri told PTI, “We are already seeing green shoots of pickup on volumes as inflation is moderating,” in response to a question regarding the recovery of consumer mood and volume growth, particularly in the rural market. He believes that when inflation slows, market prices will rise or the climate shall improve. He voiced his worries about the operating environment’s ongoing weather instability.</p>

Reports suggest that the government is considering a proposal to raise the age-limit for these officials. The age limit for state-run bank chiefs is much lower than their private sector peers, who retire at 70. Analysts have cited lower retirement age as a reason for the lack of continuity in strategy at state-owned lenders.

A speeding Rolls-Royce travelling at 200 kmph (kilometres per hour) crashed into the rear of an oil tanker in the Indian state of Haryana, media reports said. As per reports, there were three passengers onboard the tanker truck driving on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on August 22, the day the accident took place. Unfortunately, two of them who were residents of Alwar, namely Rampreet and his co-driver Kuldeep, succumbed to their injuries. Meanwhile, the third passenger sustained injury. According to police, there were three passengers inside the Rolls-Royce as well, all of whom sustained injuries and were rushed to a Gurgaon hospital. One of the car's passengers was Vikas Malu, the director of Kuber Group, who sustained injuries. Malu's lawyers said that the industrialist was not in the driver's seat. Media reports quoting senior police officials indicate that the primary cause of the accident rests with the driver of the Rolls Royce car. In the car, the other individuals who were injured in the collision were residents of Chandigarh, Divya and Tasbir. What led to the accident? The blame for the incident was initially pinned on the driver of the diesel tanker with reports saying that he was driving in the wrong side. However, the CCTV footage now reveals a completely different story. The initial account of the fatal accident on the Gurgaon-Dausa section of the expressway has been overturned with the newly surfaced CCTV footage showing that it was Rolls Royce that hit the tanker. #RollsRoyce Rolls Royce car worth Rs 124 million gutted in fire.
