Speaking on the move, A Raghuram, CEO, Tide Water Oil Company (India), said, "We have ambitious plans for Veedol and have currently doubled our spends to about Rs 8 crore for advertising and sales promotion.

Veedol also has extremely loyal user base and the intention will obviously be to grow the marketshare rapidly with focussed creative and additional spends," stated Raina.
