Blue Star sees Q3 margin recovery after price hikes
In short
Blue Star said it expects margins to improve in Q3 and get back to normal in Q4. Vir S. Advani said price increases should help cover higher input costs, while room air conditioners and data centre projects should keep growing.
This matters because better margins can support profits. The report does not say how much prices will rise or how much costs increased.
