Godrej Consumer Products delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue growth of 9% and EBITDA expansion of 16%, driven by 7% underlying volume growth. India standalone saw 9% volume growth with EBITDA margins at 24.8%, supported by cost savings, media efficiencies, and favorable input costs. Home care grew 12%, personal care recovered 7%, and GAUM posted 19% sales growth. Indonesia remained soft but showed early stabilization. Management expects India volume growth to gradually inch toward high single digits, with margins sustaining in the 24-26% range. Key growth drivers include hair care, laundry liquid, incense sticks, and EDPs. Risks include potential oil price volatility and slower-than-expected recovery in Indonesia.
