Notably, Dabur’s premium brands expanded at a rate four times faster than regular brands, now constituting 20% of the domestic business.

Despite facing challenges such as geopolitical uncertainties and high input costs, Dabur achieved broad-based growth with healthy underlying volumes. The company also noted a resurgence in General Trade, which grew by mid to high single digits, aided by initiatives under Project Saksham.
In terms of category performance, the Home & Personal Care (HPC) segment grew by 10.9%, driven by robust performances in the shampoo and hair oils businesses, which saw high double-digit growth. The Healthcare segment grew by 6.9%, buoyed by strong performances in the Digestives, OTC, and Ethicals categories. Meanwhile, the Food & Beverages division recorded a 17.4% increase, with notable recovery in the beverages portfolio.
In line with its payout policy, Dabur’s Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of 350% for the fiscal year 2026-27, amounting to ₹3.50 per share, totalling a payout of ₹620.88 crore. Market analysts view Dabur’s consistent growth and strategic focus on premiumisation and channel expansion as positive indicators for sustaining its growth trajectory in the coming quarters.
