Strong performances from Parachute, Saffola, premium personal care brands and quick commerce helped drive growth, while the company reiterated its confidence in crossing ₹15,000 crore in revenue during FY27.
Marico Limited on Tuesday reported a 25 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated profit after tax to ₹630 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, its highest PAT growth in 28 quarters, driven by robust volume performance in the India business and steady international expansion.Consolidated revenue from operations grew 23 per cent to ₹3,957 crore from ₹3,221 crore in the year-ago period, the FMCG company said in its quarterly results announcement. On the National Stock Exchange, Marico shares closed at ₹875, down 0.68 per cent on the day, giving the company a market capitalisation of approximately ₹1.13 lakh crore.EBITDA rose 25 per cent to ₹819 crore, with margins expanding 40 basis points to 20.7 per cent, supported by softer copra prices and a more profitable product mix. Advertising and promotional spends also increased 25 per cent year-on-year as the company continued to invest behind its brand portfolio.India business and key brands deliver strong growthThe India business, which accounted for revenue of ₹3,003 crore, up 21 per cent year-on-year, posted domestic volume growth of 11 per cent, the highest in 20 quarters. The company said over 96 per cent of its domestic business either gained or sustained market share on a moving annual total basis. E-commerce grew at an accelerated pace, with quick commerce clocking over 50 per cent growth.Parachute Rigids, the company’s flagship coconut oil brand, reported 10 per cent volume growth and 23 per cent revenue growth, reaching a record 59 per cent volume market share.

Vietnam led with 27 per cent CCG, followed by MENA at 24 per cent and South Africa at 8 per cent. Bangladesh, the largest international market, grew at a more moderate 4 per cent due to pricing anniversary effects and demand softness linked to elevated inflation.On the input cost front, copra prices declined 29 per cent year-on-year and are expected to remain broadly range-bound, providing some relief against inflation in crude-linked and packaging materials such as liquid paraffin, which rose 97 per cent year-on-year, and HDPE, which was up 65 per cent.MD and CEO Saugata Gupta said the company was confident of crossing the ₹15,000 crore revenue mark in FY27, with expectations of high single-digit volume growth in India, mid-teens constant currency growth internationally, and high-teen EBITDA growth for the full year.Published on August 4, 2026
