Segmental Highlights and Growth Drivers​

The India FMCG segment showed resilience and continued quarter-on-quarter growth, registering near double-digit growth. Home and Personal Care is projected to grow at nearly a teen level. Robust performance in Hair Oils and Shampoos is expected to drive high teens growth, supported by demand for both perfumed and coconut hair oils, reflecting the enduring brand equity of its portfolio. Oral care is also anticipated to achieve near double-digit growth, bolstered by strong growth across the portfolio, including new Herbal Franchise and Meswak, alongside flagship brands Red Toothpaste and Lal Dant Majan.

Healthcare business is expected to show sequential improvement with mid-single-digit growth. Key flagship products like Hajmola, Pudin Hara, Health Juices Range, Dabur Honitus, and Isabgol are projected to deliver double-digit growth. Following an initial impact during the early part of the quarter, Dabur Glucose showed a subsequent sequential recovery.

The Food business maintained high double-digit growth, with Badshah contributing near teen growth. The Beverage portfolio registered a sequential recovery in Q1 FY27, driven by strong double-digit growth in Real Active Juices Range and Coconut Water.

Channels and International Performance​

In terms of market channels, emerging avenues such as E-commerce, Quick Commerce, and Modern Trade are expected to report strong double-digit growth. General Trade also showed sequential improvement, with rural markets continuing to outperform urban sectors. The distribution and route-to-market optimization lever, Project Saksham, is showing early positive indicators.

The International Business, despite facing severe headwinds in the Middle East, is forecast to post high teen growth in INR terms. Key international markets including Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh, and the UK are each expected to record strong double-digit growth in JNR terms.

Financial Outlook and Company Strength​

Elevated inflation during the quarter was successfully mitigated within the haircare segment through calibrated price actions, helping support stable operating margins. Profit after tax is anticipated to grow at a double-digit level.
