Godrej Consumer Products Management Take on Q2FY26 Results

Commenting on the business performance, Sudhir Sitapati, Managing Director and CEO, GCPL, said: Q2 FY26 has been a resilient quarter for Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), especially given the backdrop of the GST transition in India and continued macroeconomic challenges in Indonesia. Despite these headwinds, our India business, excluding soaps, has delivered double-digit underlying volume growth, reflecting the strength of our core portfolio and execution. 

Our international portfolio faced macro and competitive pressures in Indonesia, which were offset by robust performance in Africa. On a consolidated basis, our revenues grew 4% in INR terms, supported by 3% underlying volume growth. Our EBITDA margin stood at 19.3%, and net profit before exception declined by 2% In India, sales grew by 4% and volumes by 3%. The recent GST rate reduction is a welcome structural reform that will strengthen long-term consumer demand. However, this transition led to short-term trade disruptions as the channel adjusted to new pricing and cleared old inventory, particularly impacting Soaps and Hair colour. 

Despite this, we continue to gain market share in Soaps and other key categories. In Home Care, we delivered 6% growth, led by strong performance in Air Fresheners and Fabric Care. Personal Care declined by 2%, largely reflecting the GST-related impact on soaps. As guided earlier, this was the last weak quarter for margins, and we expect a return to normative levels in the second half of FY26 for India.
