Gillette India Limited has announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, showcasing significant growth in both sales and profit. The company reported sales of ₹792 crore for the fourth quarter, marking a 3% increase compared to the same period last year.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Gillette India achieved sales of ₹3100 crore, an 8% increase from the comparable period last year. The company’s PAT for the fiscal year was ₹654 crore, up 23% compared to the previous year. This growth was attributed to a robust portfolio, superior execution, and a consistent pipeline of innovation aimed at better serving Indian consumers.
The company had changed its financial year from July 1 – June 30 to April 1 – March 31, effective last year, making the last financial year a 9-month period from July 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. Therefore, the current performance has been indexed against the comparable 12-month period in the previous year.
V Kumar, Managing Director of Gillette India, stated, “Gillette India continued to deliver strong top-line and bottom-line performance during the fiscal year, led by sustained growth in our Grooming category. Our consistent results over the years reflect disciplined execution of our integrated growth strategy — anchored in a focused portfolio of daily-use categories where product performance drives brand choice.”
Throughout the fiscal year, the company continued to delight Indian consumers and drive category growth through a continued stream of innovation, led by its well-loved brands. Notably, Gillette introduced the Gillette Guard 3in1, a significant upgrade in men’s grooming innovation designed to deliver the performance of a 3-blade shave at an accessible price point.
The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹60 per Equity Share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 42nd Annual General Meeting. Considering the interim dividend of ₹180 per share (including a one-time special dividend of ₹60 per Equity Share), the total dividend payout for the fiscal will be ₹240 per share, pending shareholder approval.
