Shares of Dabur India climbed as much as 2.8 per cent to Rs 353.6, their highest since February 2, i.e. near 11-week high.
CLSA says outlook for consumer staple firms are improving with the forecast for normal monsoon in 2018 and high likelihood of a big increase in government's support prices for agricultural produce.
