Gillette India reported a 9.4% increase in first-quarter net profit to ₹159 crore, driven by robust demand for its grooming products.
The Mumbai-based personal care company, a subsidiary of U.S. consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble, also saw total revenue climb to ₹783 crore for the period ending June 30.
The results highlight the resilience of India's premium personal care segment, even as the company navigated higher input costs.
Management attributed the profit growth to steady volume performance across its core razor and blade portfolio, which continues to dominate the market.
The revenue expansion suggests that consumers are maintaining spending on essential grooming items despite broader economic headwinds.
This performance aligns with a broader trend of strong earnings among Indian consumer goods firms.
