Dabur India Limited announced financial results for the quarter ended on June 30, 2025.
Dabur India Ltd reported a 3% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated net profit for Q1 FY26, reaching ₹514 crore compared to ₹500 crore in the same period last year. The company’s consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹3,405 crore.
However, unseasonal rains during peak summer months impacted the performance of its summer-centric portfolio, particularly in beverages. Excluding this seasonal portfolio, the business recorded a 7% growth, indicating strong underlying momentum.
Despite inflationary headwinds during the quarter, Dabur achieved a 2% rise in operating profit, outperforming revenue growth and highlighting strong brand equity and effective execution.
Dabur noted continued strength in rural markets, which outperformed urban markets for the fifth consecutive quarter. Growth in Bharat outpaced urban India by 390 basis points (bps) in both value and volume terms.
The company’s efforts to deepen rural penetration paid off, with direct outlet reach increasing by 63,000 year-on-year to 1.52 million. Village coverage also expanded by 10,000, reaching 1.33 lakh villages. Additionally, the Yoddha distribution network grew by around 900 members to a total of 19,900.
Dabur's international business delivered a strong 13.7% growth in constant currency terms. Key markets performed well: the UK business grew by 41%, Turkey by 36%, Namaste by 30%, Sub-Saharan Africa by 20%, MENA by 10.1%, and Bangladesh by 10.2%.
These numbers underscore the success of Dabur’s global expansion and the growing demand for its portfolio across geographies.
"This performance was anchored by solid market share gains across 95% of our portfolio, reflecting the trust of our consumers, the resilience of our brands and the agility of our teams to navigate challenges and deliver ahead of expectations," Dabur India Limited Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohit Malhotra said.
"While urban markets, riding on the strong performance of Modern Trade and emerging channels, have shown signs of sequential improvement, it still lags rural growth. We recognize that rural consumers are the growth engine for us. Through targeted initiatives such as expanding our rural footprint, enhancing last-mile connectivity, and rolling out tailored product formats, we have deepened our engagement and trust in these communities, " Mr. Malhotra said.
On August 1, 2025, Dabur India share price (NSE: DABUR) opened at ₹533.00, up from its previous close of ₹529.00. At 9:41 AM, the share price of Dabur India was trading at ₹539.95, up by 2.07% on the NSE.
