Shashi jee thanks for posting your observations. What you have experienced is a fact, maybe across India.
Om jee has also raised valid questions.
As mentioned previously we have been using Nutralite for over 5 years now, especially as sandwitch spread, in Paav Bhaaji, baking cakes etc...
It used to be available only in select supermarkets earlier, but nowadays (maybe due to distribution strengths of Cadila) one can see it in neighbourhood Kirana (Grocery) stores. Besides with organised retailing, the reach has increased.
Let's see how & whether results show growth improvement over coming quarters.

Peter Lynch would smile and raise a toast for "nutrelite" if he was reading this.

Basant Jee....
Aap ke tippani ke liye shukriya....lekin jab bhi aap Peter Lynch kaa jikr karte ho....muzhe Mussaddilal ki yaad aati hain!!
.......Why? .......
Because he bought Asahi India like crazy after witnessing some protests by Shiv Sena/ Bajrang Dal where they were ransacking glass claddings of shopping malls & also destroying windshields of cars parked nearby. Mussaddilal's logic was that such riots would create good replacement demand!

Kulman, Others,
What are the products/offerings from Carnation Nutra .... If you can give complete exhaustive list of products, it would be of great help ...
1) Butter replacement
2) Bread Spread
3) ??
4) ??
"Sugar Free" is NOT from Carnation ... its from its parent Cadilla ... So sugar Free profits would not go to Carnation ...
Nutralite Vegatable Cooking Oil - Is that also from Carnation ?
Any other product ? The website of Nutralite only talks of Butter Replacement Product ... Hence these questions !!
Thanx !!

As far as I know, Carnation has discontinued manufacturing of of all other products. They are purely focussing on Margarine branded as 'Nutralite'.
As we all know, there was a change in Promoter & Management from Amin family to Cadila this year.
Sugar Free is a Cadila product, totally unrelated to Carnation. Analysts are drawing conclusion that Cadila's powerful distribution & marketing skills would help Carnation achieve exponential growth.
Personally speaking I love Nutralite as a product and it has been good for my health. Now whether investment in Carnation proves good for one's wealth is a million dollar question which only time will tell.

Margarine Basics
Margarine is essentially a butter substitute. It primarily contains lesser saturated fats than butter as it is made from vegetable oils which contain PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids). PUFA helps fight cholesterol whereas butter is made from pure milk fat or fat from animal source.
Did you know?
While the Indian market for margarine is nascent and evolving, internationally, in view of its health advantages, margarine is 2 times more popular than butter. In developed markets, the per capita consumption of margarine is 81 b (3.6 kg) while that of butter is 41 b (1.8 kg).
Butter v/s Margarine - which is better and why?
1. While butter contains animal fats, which are rich in saturated fats and trans fats, Nutralite is made from the healthier fats (non-hydrogenated vegetable oils), and not milk fats.
2. Nutralite has negligible quantities of TFA (less than 1gm per 100gm) whereas butter has 4 times higher quantity of the same.
3. It is cholesterol-free whereas butter contains more than 250mg per 100gm (33 mg/spoon).
4. It contains 25 % less saturated fats than butter.
5. It is PUFA / MUFA rich and contains 2˝ times more PUFA and 1˝ times more MUFA than butter.
6. It is rich in Vitamin A, D and E and its Vitamin E content is 5 times more than butter.
Nutralite, therefore, clearly emerges as a clear healthier alternative to butter. Substituting butter with Nutralite can help adopt healthier food habits and prevent the risk of cholesterol, heart diseases, weight gain / obesity, etc.

Heart of the matter
Not too long ago, only people in their 50s and above were seen as potential victims of heart ailments. No longer. As this paper reported on Sunday, the targets are getting younger and younger. A study by the World Health Organisation seems to confirm what doctors have been saying for some time-one in every two heart patients in India is below the age of 45.
New estimates show that one out of seven people in a city like Mumbai — with its typically high-stress, irregular-diet, urban lifestyle are under risk of suffering from one of the four deadly diseases-diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure or heart diseases
