Gillette India Shares Fall Nearly 1.9% Despite 11% Rise in Q2 Profit; Sales Grow 4%

Mumbai, November 13: Shares of Gillette India declined nearly 1.9% on Friday, November 13, despite the company reporting an 11% year-on-year increase in net profit for the September quarter, as investors assessed the impact of elevated commodity costs on profitability.

The stock fell after the company’s Q2 FY27 performance was out. Gillette India reported sales of Rs 846 crore for the quarter ended September 30, marking a 4% increase from the year-ago period. Profit after tax (PAT) rose 11% year-on-year to Rs 159 crore.

The company attributed its performance to its strategic product portfolio, innovation and retail execution across channels. However, profitability faced pressure from significant commodity cost headwinds.

Gillette India said its productivity programme helped mitigate the impact of higher input costs and sustain profitable growth.

Its power oral care business recorded double-digit growth during the quarter, supported by product execution and the launch of Oral-B iO2.

The company also highlighted product launches during the first half of FY27, including Gillette Guard 3in1 and the Gillette AIO Trimmer series, as part of its efforts to strengthen its portfolio and drive consumer engagement.
