HUL assures distributors of product supply after they warn of protests

Distributors in Maharashtra say will they stop taking up the company's products from January 1.

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) said in Friday it will supply its products uninterrupted, clarifying that it had no exclusive deals with organised online businesses that traditional distributors allege are being favoured unfairly.

“HUL has a long-standing relationship with its distributors that is based on trust and mutuality of interest. Our distributors have overwhelmingly conveyed to us that they will rebuff any attempts to create a wedge between the company and our trusted distributors,” said the fast-moving consumer goods company in an exchange filing.
