Q1 Update: Volume Growth at Multi-Quarter High

Marico reported that underlying volume growth (UVG) in its India business reached a multi-quarter high, supported by:

• Resilient performance of core brands
• Scaling of new product segments
• Improved rural demand and stable urban consumption

Saffola Oils saw high-twenties revenue growth with mid-single-digit volume growth, while value-added hair oils clocked low double-digit volume gains. Strategic focus on brand building and direct reach via Project SETU helped drive momentum.

International Growth & Margin Outlook

Marico’s international business posted high-teen constant currency growth, led by Bangladesh. However, gross margins faced pressure due to rising copra costs and an elevated base. The company expects margin improvement from the second half of FY26, with modest year-on-year operating profit growth.
