FMCG major reports double-digit revenue growth driven by home care demand, volume expansion and steady international market performance
Godrej Consumer Products Limited reported a 9.7 per cent rise in consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter of FY2025-26, supported by strong domestic demand, robust volume growth and improved performance across key product categories.
The company posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 452 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with Rs 412 crore in the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations increased 11 per cent year-on-year to nearly Rs 3,900 crore.
The maker of brands such as Good Knight, HIT and Cinthol said the growth was led by continued momentum in its India business, which contributed more than 60 per cent of overall sales. The domestic business recorded 8 per cent underlying volume growth and 10 per cent sales growth during the quarter.
Home care emerged as a key growth driver, with segment sales rising 12 per cent year-on-year amid strong demand for household insecticides, air fresheners and fabric care products. Personal care sales grew 3 per cent during the quarter.
International operations also delivered steady performance. The company’s Africa, USA and Middle East business recorded 20 per cent growth during the quarter, while Indonesia sales rose 3 per cent as pricing pressures in the market began to ease.
Consolidated EBITDA margin remained largely stable at around 21.7 per cent despite elevated input costs linked to crude oil and palm oil prices. The company said calibrated pricing actions, operating leverage and disciplined cost management helped protect margins during the quarter.
The company has said it was entering FY27 from a position of strength, backed by improving demand trends, innovation and consistent market execution. The company, however, cautioned that rising crude-linked input costs could exert short-term pressure on profitability.
For the full financial year FY26, GCPL reported consolidated revenue growth of around 8 per cent, while annual profit remained broadly flat due to exceptional items impacting the bottom line.
Shares of Godrej Consumer Products Limited witnessed volatility following the earnings announcement, with investors weighing strong operational performance against concerns around future margin pressures and elevated valuations.
