Q1 Consol Revenue Up ~2% at Rs 3,405 Crore; Ex-Seasonal Portfolio Grows 7%

New Delhi, July 31, 2025: India’s leading Science-based Ayurveda major Dabur India Ltd today announced an around 3% growth in Consolidated Net Profit for the first quarter of 2025-26 at Rs 514 Crore, up from Rs 500 Crore a year ago. Dabur ended Q1 with Consolidated Revenue of Rs 3,405 Crore. Unseasonal rains during peak summer months impacted the performance of Dabur’s summer-centric portfolio, particularly in categories like beverages. Excluding this seasonal portfolio, the business grew by 7% in Q1 of 2025-26.

The Board of Directors of Dabur India Ltd met here today to consider the unaudited financial results of the Company for the quarter ended June 30th, 2025.

Despite facing inflationary headwinds during the quarter, Dabur delivered a 2% growth in Operating Profit, outpacing topline growth and underscoring the strength of our brands and execution. “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.

For five consecutive quarters, rural markets have outperformed urban, reflecting deep-rooted resilience and rising consumer confidence across the heartland. This quarter too, the growth from Bharat stood 390 bps ahead of urban India, both in value and volume terms. Dabur has made remarkable strides in expanding its distribution footprint with direct reach surging by 63,000 outlets year-on-year, now spanning 1.52 million outlets, up from 1.45 million in Q1 2024-25. Our village coverage expanded by around 10,000 villages, reaching 1.33 lakh villages, while our Yoddha network grew by around 900 members to 19,900 Yoddhas. These reflect our relentless efforts to bring our products closer to consumers across India.

“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.

Category Growth

The first quarter saw steady growth across key verticals like Digestives, Toothpaste, Hair Care, Skin Care, and Home Care. While unseasonal rains during peak summer months impacted the performance of our summer-centric portfolio, particularly in categories like beverages and Glucose, our diversified product mix and agile supply chain helped cushion the impact and maintain overall momentum.

Riding on growing demand for our flagship Dabur Red Paste and the premium brand Meswak, Dabur’s Toothpaste business reported a 7.3% growth during the first quarter. The 100% Fruit Juice portfolio under the Real Activ brand grew by 20%, while the Digestives portfolio grew by 7.7%. Our Home Care business posted a 10.1% jump.
