Q1 FY26 Business Highlights

Dabur’s quarterly update indicates a sequential recovery in the Indian FMCG sector, particularly in urban areas, with its core Home and Personal Care (HPC) division demonstrating strong momentum.

• HPC Segment: Oral, home, and skincare categories were the primary growth drivers. Flagship brands such as Dabur Red Toothpaste, Odonil, Odomos, and Gulabari reported strong growth and gained market share.
• Healthcare Products: Brands like Dabur Honey, Hajmola, Dabur Honitus, and Health Juices witnessed robust double-digit growth. Notably, Dabur Honitus exceeded 40% growth.
• Channels: Organised trade channels, including E-commerce, Modern Trade, and Quick Commerce, continued to post healthy traction.
• International Business: This segment delivered double-digit constant currency growth, spearheaded by strong performances in key markets such as MENA (Middle East & North Africa), Turkey, Bangladesh, and the US Namaste business.

Challenges and Outlook

Despite the positive momentum in several segments, the beverages portfolio was adversely impacted by unseasonal rains and a shorter summer season, which affected juice volumes. While Activ Juices and Activ Coconut Water still posted mid-teen growth, the overall drag from beverages is expected to result in consolidated revenue growth in low single digits, with EBIT growth marginally lagging revenue growth for Q1 FY26.

However, Dabur remains optimistic, citing:

“With a refreshed strategic vision, favourable monsoon, good agricultural output, easing inflation and government support, we expect revenue momentum to improve in the coming quarters,” the company stated in its filing.
