The performance continues to be driven by the home care segment, where the company expects double-digit value growth
Emphasising that demand conditions in India strengthened progressively, Godrej Consumer Products is expecting close to double-digit revenue growth in Indian rupee terms and double-digit earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) growth in the third quarter of the current financial year (Q3FY26).
Sharing the business update in a regulatory filing, the company notes that its standalone business is well positioned to deliver double-digit revenue growth for the quarter, underpinned by close to double-digit underlying volume growth (UVG), albeit on a supportive comparator. The performance continues to be driven by the home care segment, where the company expects double-digit value growth. Personal care is expected to record mid-single-digit value growth.
The company expects standalone ebitda margins to revert to the normative range for the business, aided by favourable input costs, disciplined cost management calibrated pricing actions and improved operating leverage. In Indonesia, competitive pricing pressures across key categories persisted during the quarter. The company sees early signs of stabilisation and expects an improvement in both revenue and profitability from FY27 onwards.
“At the consolidated level, we expect close to double-digit revenue growth in Indian rupee terms and double-digit ebitda growth, reflecting the strength of our category development led growth strategy and improving trends across our international businesses,” the official statement noted.
GAUM (Godrej Africa, USA and Middle East) continued to deliver a strong and consistent performance both on topline and bottom-line. The cluster is well poised to deliver FY26 in accordance with the company’s guidance of double-digit top and bottom-line growth.
