Hindustan Unilever Limited reported a strong performance for the March quarter, with its consolidated net profit rising 20.9% year-on-year to ₹2,992 crore, compared to ₹2,464 crore in the same period last year, supported partly by gains from the divestment of Nutritionalab Pvt Ltd. The company’s revenue from continuing operations grew 7.6% to ₹16,351 crore, reflecting steady business momentum. EBITDA also increased 6% to ₹3,841 crore, although margins slightly declined to 23.5% from 23.8% a year ago. According to CEO and MD Priya Nair, global geopolitical tensions have created volatility in commodities and currencies, but the company is managing these challenges through cost discipline, strong supply chain capabilities, and calibrated pricing strategies. HUL also delivered a healthy volume growth of 6% during the quarter, exceeding market expectations. The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹22 per share for FY26, taking the total dividend for the year to ₹41 per share, including the interim payout. On a standalone basis, the company reported revenue of ₹15,733 crore and net profit of ₹2,930 crore, with overall earnings supported by consistent operational performance and strategic portfolio actions.
