India's leading FMCG major Dabur India Ltd today announced a 16% surge in Consolidated Net Profit for the fourth quarter of 2025-26 at Rs 362 Crore, up from Rs 312. 7 Crore a year earlier. Consolidated Revenue for the quarter marked a 7.3% jump to Rs 3,038 Crore from Rs 2,830 Crore a year ago. The India FMCG Business posted a growth of 9.5% during the quarter.

The Board of Directors of Dabur met here today to consider the audited financial results of the company tor the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026.

Dabur India Limited Global Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohit Malhotra said: "Amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that drove inflation, elevated freight costs, and impacted consumer demand in select markets, Dabur demonstrated agility in navigating the operating environment. We delivered a resilient performance during the fourth quarter of 2025-26 on the back of proactive supply chain diversification by way of opening alternative supply routes to key geographies, disciplined cost controls, and calibrated price increases, combined with strong brand-led consumer engagement."

India FMCG Business Operating Profit rose 12.5% during the quarter, reflecting strong execution in the domestic FMCG business and healthy underlying volume growth of 6%.

Revenue for the full year 2025-26 marked a 5% growth at Rs 13, 193 Crore, while Net Profit for the year reported a 7.4% growth at Rs 1,869 Crore.

In the fourth quarter, rural markets continued to outpace urban consumption with rural demand growing ahead of urban India by 350bps. "That said, the gap between rural and urban growth has narrowed significantly compared to December 2025, reflecting a more balanced consumption recovery. We expect this convergence to continue. Within Urban India, e-commerce and Modern Trade have been driving demand, growing by 49% and 19% respectively. Quick Commerce is driving the online business, posting a growth of 54%. This channel was a major contributor to our Foods business, which grew by 30% in Q4. We will continue to double down on emerging channels, which serve as the incubators for Dabur's innovation and premium products. As part of this initiative, we have launched SIENS, Dabur's first online only Direct-to-Consumer nutraceutical brand, which is showing great consumer traction. We continue to invest heavily behind this brand," Mr. Mohit Malhotra added.
