Dabur is reviving its NewU retail venture after a pause, planning 12-15 new stores this fiscal across Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad, using a revenue-sharing model, with a long-term goal of 200 outlets and Rs 140 crore investment.

Why this matters

The NewU retail revival comes as Dabur flags firm demand in Q1 FY27 despite crude-led cost inflation, and as FMCG majors post strong quarters on price hikes and rural demand.

Store-opening activity is steady with 612 signals in the last 90 days.
