✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Godrej Consumer Products delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue growth of 9% and EBITDA expansion of 16%, driven by India business volume growth of 9% and margin improvement to 24.8%. Key drivers included cost savings from media and supply chain, favorable input costs, and strong performance in home care (air fresheners, fabric care) and personal care recovery post-GST reduction. International business showed resilience: Indonesia stabilized with 5% volume growth, while Africa/USA/Middle East grew 19% in INR terms. Management expects India EBITDA margins to sustain in the 24-26% range and aims for gradual volume growth improvement to 7-8% over 18-24 months. Risk: sharp oil price increases could pressure margins temporarily.
