The Board also declared a special dividend of 200 per cent, taking the total dividend payout to 1000 per cent (Rs 10 per share) for FY25, as the company celebrates its 50th year of operations.
The company’s core domestic business posted a strong 11 per cent year-on-year growth in Q4FY25, supported by a healthy 7 per cent volume increase. Key brands such as Navratna, Dermicool, BoroPlus and the Healthcare range contributed significantly to the uptick.

During the quarter, Emami repositioned its flagship men’s grooming product Fair and Handsome as Smart and Handsome, now marketed as a holistic male grooming solution. A nationwide campaign fronted by actor Kartik Aaryan helped boost visibility. The company also entered the brightening cream segment with Emami Pure Glow, supported by actress Raashii Khanna.
Harsha V Agarwal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, said, “Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, we have delivered a strong and profitable growth trajectory. We remain focused on strengthening core brands, accelerating innovation, and scaling our digital-first and international strategies.”
Emami introduced over 25 new products in FY25 and expanded its digital reach, with Zanducare—its D2C platform—now contributing 50 per cent of its new product sales. Organised channels like modern trade, e-commerce, and institutional sales accounted for 27.6 per cent of domestic revenue, growing faster than the overall business.
Mohan Goenka, Vice Chairman and Whole-Time Director, added, “Our efforts in GT-mart expansion, innovation pipeline, and ecommerce have resulted in stronger channel productivity and deeper market penetration. We are well poised for robust, all-round growth in FY26.”
International markets contributed 17 per cent of Emami’s total revenue, with 6 per cent growth in Q4 despite geopolitical volatility. The company reiterated its commitment to sustainability, reporting a 12 per cent increase in renewable energy use and maintaining plastic neutrality in FY25.
Recognised in Hurun India’s top rankings, Emami continues to lead through innovation, operational excellence, and value creation—marking its 50th year with strong financials and forward-looking strategies.
