HUL posts strongest sales growth in 13 quarters as inflation drives calibrated price hikes
HUL’s June-quarter revenue rose 10% to ₹17,529 crore, led by 5% underlying volume growth and about 5% pricing. Reported profit fell 2% to ₹2,680 crore because the prior year included a one-time tax credit, while comparable PAT rose 9%.
HUL posted 10% revenue growth and its strongest USG in 13 quarters, but reported profit fell on a prior-year tax-credit base. Commodity inflation is prompting calibrated price hikes, cost savings and brand investment, while personal-care volumes remain under pressure.
Why this matters
After recent signals flagged HUL’s Q1 sales at ₹17,341 crore with volume and profit misses, plus commodity pressure, the latest result shows 5% underlying volume growth alongside 5% pricing.
