Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has announced the completion of its divestment of Nutritionalab, marking a strategic portfolio move within its health and wellbeing segment.
The company also approved the acquisition of the remaining stake in Zywie Ventures Private Limited. These developments follow HUL’s recent plans to invest in expanding manufacturing capacity across its premium product categories.
In a regulatory filing, Hindustan Unilever stated that it has completed the sale of its entire shareholding in Nutritionalab. The transaction was carried out in accordance with the terms agreed upon between the involved parties.
The company noted that the divestment follows its earlier disclosure made to the stock exchanges on 12 February 2026.
In a separate development disclosed last month, HUL’s board approved the purchase of the remaining 49% stake in Zywie Ventures Private Limited. The transaction is valued at approximately ₹824 crore and will be executed under a pre-agreed valuation framework.
The acquisition will increase HUL’s ownership in the company, further strengthening its presence in the health and wellbeing segment.
HUL entered the health and wellbeing segment in 2022 through strategic investments. These included the acquisition of a majority stake in OZiva and the purchase of a 19.8% stake in Wellbeing Nutrition.
The company has been gradually expanding its footprint in this category as part of its broader portfolio strategy.
Earlier, on 18 February 2026, HUL announced plans to invest around ₹2,000 crore over the next two years. The investment is aimed at expanding manufacturing capacity across premium product categories.
The planned expansion will focus on segments such as beauty and wellbeing products as well as home care liquids.
