Colgate Palmolive India on October 23 reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 328 crore for the September quarter in FY26, declining 17 per cent from Rs 395 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year.
The company reported net sales of Rs. 1,507 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to Rs. 1,609 crore for the same period last year and
against Rs 1,421 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
"While we continued to navigate through a difficult operating environment, our second quarter performance also reflects the transitory disruption at distributors and retailers across channels caused by GST rate revision. Our first half performance cycles a high base of double digit net sales growth in the base period and we expect a gradual recovery in performance in the second half," said Prabha Narasimhan, Managing Director & CEO of Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited.
The Board declared a first interim dividend of Rs. 24/- per equity share of face value of Re. 1/- each for the FY26.
"Our margin profile remains resilient driven by strong focus on execution of our Funding The Growth program. Despite topline headwinds, we remain committed to our long term strategic goals and continue to prioritize brand investments," Narasimhan added.
The premium portfolio continued strong growth momentum led by Colgate Visible White Purple, our advanced whitening toothpaste, according to the company.
