Dabur India is expecting consolidated revenue to register double-digit growth in the quarter ended September 30, 2026, with its India FMCG business also projected to deliver double-digit growth. The company said demand remained steady during the quarter despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, elevated commodity inflation and deficient rainfall. It expects consumption to strengthen further during the upcoming festive season.

The company's Home and Personal Care business is expected to record double-digit growth, led by hair oils and shampoos, which are projected to grow in the high teens. Perfumed and coconut hair oils both recorded robust growth during the quarter, according to the company. The segment is expected to mark its fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, reflecting sustained demand across its portfolio.

Within the healthcare business, Dabur expects mid-single-digit growth. OTC and Ethicals are projected to recover sequentially with early-teens growth, while Digestives are expected to maintain strong momentum and grow in the high teens. Health supplements, however, faced a temporary impact from the transition to refreshed packaging and labels across the portfolio.

The company's international business is expected to grow in the high teens in rupee terms despite significant headwinds in the Middle East. Dabur said markets including Egypt, Turkey, the US, Bangladesh and the UK are each expected to record strong double-digit growth in rupee terms. However, elevated inflationary pressures, particularly in Home and Personal Care and OTC and Ethicals, affected operating margins during the quarter, with price increases and cost-saving measures providing some offset.

Dabur expects profit after tax to continue growing at a double-digit rate and said it remains focused on sustainable and profitable growth through disciplined execution, cost competitiveness and digital capabilities.

Dabur reported consolidated revenue of Rs 13,192 crore and profit after tax of Rs 1,895 crore in FY 2025-26.
