Segment Performance Deep Dive
Fabric Care
The Fabric Care segment (including Fabric Whitener, Detergent Powder/Liquid) grew 9.2% in value, primarily driven by volume. Performance was strong across liquid detergents like Ujala, Henko, and the new ‘Dr Wool’ launch.
Dishwashing
The Dishwash segment (Bar, Liquid, Gel) experienced a slight value decline of 1.3%, although volume grew by 7% due to pricing actions and promotions. Liquids were noted as continuing to outperform bars.
Personal Care
The Personal Care segment (Soap, Hand Wash, Toothpaste) saw a healthy return to growth, increasing 10.9% in value and 7.7% in volume, as the post-GST disruption observed earlier settled by the end of November.
Household Insecticides (HI)
The HI segment achieved 12.6% value growth, primarily led by strong volume in Liquid Vaporizers. While coils saw a decline, this was offset by growth in vaporizers and newer formats. The launch of Maxo Aerosol is reportedly scaling well.

Ms. M. R. Jyothy, Chairperson and Managing Director, noted that Q3 marked steady progress with healthy volume growth across the portfolio. She highlighted the recovery in General Trade and continued scaling of modern formats like Quick Commerce. The company remains focused on cost control, innovation, and strengthening brands.
