Sharing a quarterly update in a regulatory filing, its consolidated revenue is expected to grow in low-single digits
Noting that the Indian fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector witnessed a sequential recovery in demand with an uptick in volume growth, particularly in urban markets in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26), Dabur India stated that it is expecting the revenue growth to regain momentum in the coming quarters.
Sharing a quarterly update in a regulatory filing, the company emphasised that its home and personal care (HPC) division is expected to perform well, driven by the oral, home and skin care categories. Within healthcare, the company added that the brands such as Dabur honey, Hajmola, Dabur honitus, and Dabur health juices are expected to post robust double-digit growth.
“With the refreshed strategic vision and favourable macroeconomic conditions such as above average monsoon, good agricultural output, easing inflation and consumption-focused government measures, we expect revenue growth to regain momentum and trend higher in the coming quarters,” Dabur India highlighted.
In terms of channels, organised trade, including ecommerce, quick commerce and modern trade, maintained their growth momentum, it added, while noting that international business is expected to post double digit constant currency growth led by key markets.
“The beverage portfolio was impacted during the quarter due to unseasonal rains and short summer. However, Activ juices and Activ coconut water saw good momentum with growth expected in mid-teens. The company is planning to focus on the Activ portfolio going forward to capture the consumer trends and reduce the seasonality of our juices portfolio,” the company stated.
On account of the decline in beverages, Dabur explained that its consolidated revenue is expected to grow in low-single digits. Consolidated operating profit growth is expected to marginally lag revenue growth, it said.
