Gillette India Limited (GIL) has announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, reporting sales of ₹846 crore, an increase of 4% over the corresponding quarter last year. Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 11% year-on-year to ₹159 crore, reflecting growth across its portfolio and continued focus on execution.
The company attributed its performance to the strength of its strategic portfolio, product innovation addressing evolving consumer needs and retail execution across channels. While profitability during the quarter was affected by significant commodity cost pressures, the company leveraged its productivity programme to mitigate the impact and sustain profitable growth.
Commenting on the results, Kumar Venkatasubramanian, Managing Director, Gillette India Limited, said, “Our consistent delivery of balanced growth quarter on quarter is a true reflection of the strength of our integrated growth strategy, and the exceptional execution of these strategies by our people. This consistency is also reflected in our innovation – both in terms of our propositions as well as how we engage with consumers. We remain committed to our strategy to delight consumers with superior products at a superior value by putting the consumer first in everything we do.” He added, “Our integrated growth strategy is anchored in a focused portfolio, superiority (of product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and value), productivity, constructive disruption and an empowered, agile organization.”
The company’s Power Oral Care business recorded double-digit growth during the quarter, supported by focused execution and the launch of Oral-B iO2. Designed to make the transition from manual to power oral care easier, the product offers consumers access to one of Oral-B’s key oral health tools, delivering a thorough clean, including on the last tooth.
The first half of FY2026-27 also saw product introductions across the company’s portfolio, including Gillette Guard 3in1 and the Gillette AIO Trimmer series. These launches reflect the company’s focus on product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and value as part of its broader strategy to strengthen consumer propositions.
Alongside product innovation, Gillette India continued to evolve its media model to engage consumers across relevant platforms and channels. The company also participated in P&G Loop, a large-scale immersive brand experience event organised for content creators, providing an opportunity to showcase its brands and engage with the creator community.
The company said its integrated growth strategy will continue to guide its efforts across portfolio focus, product superiority, productivity and organisational agility. Its approach remains centred on understanding consumer needs and delivering products that combine performance with value. The latest results reflect the company’s focus on balanced growth while navigating commodity cost pressures through productivity initiatives and disciplined execution.
