Marico reported Q2 revenue growth of 31% but a marginal profit decline as copra costs and brand spending compressed margins. India revenue rose nearly 35%, while the company plans to expand direct distribution to 1.5 million outlets by FY27.

Why this matters

The Q2 update follows Marico's Q1 revenue growth of 23% and its increase in the Plix maker stake to 60%, while extending the packaging-led Parachute growth playbook associated with Harsh Mariwala.
