Q2 earnings: Can India Inc repeat Q1, or will Q3 erase the base-effect tailwind?

India Inc is likely to see a dip in earnings performance for Q2 in comparison to Q1, with analysts forecasting a growth slowdown of roughly 13-14%. Rising costs and margin pressures are key contributors to this trend. As base effects normalize, sectors such as lending financials, manufacturing, and capital goods are projected to bolster earnings, highlighting the importance of monitoring business improvements amidst fluctuating costs.
