The company remains optimistic about a gradual improvement in consumption over the coming quarters, supported by falling inflation and improving affordability following lower GST rates. Against this backdrop, the company's standalone business is well positioned to deliver double-digit revenue growth for the quarter, backed by close to double-digit underlying volume growth (UVG), albeit on a supportive comparator. The outperformance continues to be led by the Home Care segment, where momentum remains robust and double-digit value growth is expected, supported by sustained consumer demand and effective in-market execution. Personal Care is expected to record mid-single-digit value growth, driven by a marked recovery in the soaps category. The company expects standalone EBITDA margins to revert to the normative range for the business, aided by favourable input costs, disciplined cost management, calibrated pricing actions, and improved operating leverage. In Indonesia, competitive pricing pressures across key categories persisted during the quarter. However, early signs of stabilisation are visible, with the company expecting an improvement in both revenue and profitability from FY27 onwards. Meanwhile, GAUM (Godrej Africa, USA and Middle East) continued to deliver a strong and consistent performance both on topline and bottom-line. The company said the cluster is on track to deliver FY26 in line with its guidance of double-digit growth in revenue and profit, underscoring the resilience of its turnaround strategy. Godrej Consumer Products is an Indian consumer goods company. The company's products include soap, hair colorants, toiletries and liquid detergents. The company's consolidated net profit declined 6.5% to Rs 459.34 crore despite of 4.3% increase in net sales to Rs 3,802.46 crore in Q2 FY26 over Q2 FY25. The counter fell 0.64% to Rs 1,245.60 on the BSE. Powered by Capital Market - Live News
