Dabur Expects Double-Digit Q2 Growth Amid Steady Demand
Dabur expects its sales and profit to grow by at least 10% in the July-to-September quarter.
These are forecasts, and the company will announce its detailed results after its board approves them.
Dabur said shoppers kept buying its products steadily.
Its India FMCG business is expected to grow faster than in recent quarters.
The company also expects growth in areas such as personal care, food and beverages, and overseas markets.
Inflation and tensions in the Middle East made some costs higher.
Dabur said price changes and cost-saving efforts helped reduce some of that pressure.
It is also hopeful that people will buy more during the upcoming festive season.
Dabur India expects double-digit consolidated revenue and profit-after-tax growth for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
India FMCG growth is expected to accelerate to double digits, with home and personal care also forecast to grow at a double-digit rate.
Food and beverages are projected to grow in the mid-teens, while healthcare is expected to post mid-single-digit growth.
The international business is expected to grow at a high-teens rate in rupee terms; Dabur said several named overseas markets recorded strong double-digit growth.
Inflation and geopolitical tensions pressured operating margins, partly offset by calibrated price increases and cost-saving measures.
