HUL reported June-quarter profit down 3.17% to ₹2,680 crore despite 10.26% growth in product sales to ₹17,149 crore. Underlying sales growth reached 10%, split equally between volume and price, while EBITDA margin held at 23%.

Why this matters

The result aligns with an earlier signal on HUL's 3% Q1 profit decline and follows scrutiny of whether price hikes could defend margins without reducing volumes.
