GODREJ CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Sells personal care and home care products (soaps, detergents, household insecticides, hair care, deodorants and air fresheners) to retail consumers, organised through geographic segments. India is the largest, contributing 62.4% of FY26 segment revenue at Rs 9,474.11 crore, with home care and personal care roughly split 49:51 on a standalone turnover of about Rs 9,376 crore. Africa (including the Strength of Nature business) is the second-largest at 20.8% (Rs 3,154.46 crore) and grew 20% in the most recent quarter as media spend was deliberately doubled to build the franchise in the U.S., Africa and Middle East. Indonesia contributes 12% (Rs 1,822.59 crore), where volumes stabilised at 4% growth after pricing pressure. Other geographies (Latin America, SAARC, etc.) make up the remaining 6.4%. The cost base is dominated by materials at 38.4% of revenue, with employees at 8.1% and other operating expenses at 22.4%; the business is taking price hikes (soaps +5%, detergents +6-7%, household insecticides +4-5%) to counter crude-linked input inflation of 7-9%.
