GCPL’s standalone India business remained the key growth driver, recording 10% sales growth and 8% underlying volume growth during the quarter. EBITDA from the India business rose 18% to ₹578 crore.
Managing Director and CEO Sudhir Sitapati said the company’s quarterly performance reflected broad-based execution across categories and geographies.
“Q4 FY2026 has been a quarter of strong, broad-based performance for Godrej Consumer Products Limited, fully aligned with our expectations and strategic priorities,” Sitapati said in the company’s earnings press release.
Home care and fragrances support India business growth
The home care business of GCPL was one of the strongest revenue generators this quarter and registered strong value growth of 12% driven by household insecticides, air fresheners, and fabric care.
The company noted that segments like electric mosquito repellents and air fresheners kept up the market share momentum, whereas products like Aer Spray 99 and Godrej Fab also witnessed positive results in this quarter.

GCPL also expanded its toilet cleaner portfolio nationwide after pilot launches in Tamil Nadu.
For the personal care business, the value growth rate was around 3%, although perfumes and deodorants grew in double digits. The company reported that continued momentum in KS99 perfumes helped scale the product pan-India.
International business shows mixed trends
International operations delivered mixed but improving results during the quarter.
Indonesia, which has remained under pressure over recent quarters due to pricing challenges, recorded 3% sales growth and 4% underlying volume growth during the quarter.
The company said pricing pressures in the region had “largely bottomed out” and projected improved operating conditions from FY27 onward. Meanwhile, the Africa, USA and Middle East business posted 20% sales growth during the quarter, driven by hair care, hair fashion and air freshener categories.
However, EBITDA growth in the region remained limited at 2% as the company increased media investments behind FMCG categories to support long-term expansion.
GCPL’s Latin America and Others segment reported 26% sales growth, though profitability was impacted by one-time costs during the quarter.
FY26 closes with steady growth momentum
Consolidated sales for the year grew by 9%, with underlying volume growth at 6%. The margins of consolidated EBITDA were 20.9%, with net profit growing by 6% on an annual basis.
Sitapati added that the company is looking towards FY27 with a better operating momentum, driven by positive demand trends, disciplined costs, and innovation.

Analysts will be watching keenly to see whether the stability in Indonesia will continue, and also the effects of its investments in other foreign markets on its margins.
As far as the growth driver for the company goes, India remains the key. However, the performance of FY27 depends heavily on recovery in Indonesia as well as further expansions in Africa and the Middle East regions.
