Premium portfolio grew 3x the company rate, lifting Q4 FY26 net sales 9% YoY. PAT held at ₹353 cr on GST inverted-duty drag and restructuring charges. Ad spend up 10%. Board declared ₹24 second interim dividend, taking FY26 payout to ₹48/share.
Colgate-Palmolive India posted 9% Q4 FY26 sales growth to ₹1,583 cr, led by premium portfolio expanding 3x company rate. PAT flat at ₹353 cr due to GST inverted-duty and restructuring charges. Board declared ₹24 second interim dividend, FY26 total ₹48.
Why this matters
Colgate India continues to lean on premiumisation to drive topline, but margin pressure from GST inverted-duty and restructuring costs is keeping profit growth muted despite a 10% rise in ad investment.
