Dabur expects to report income and profit decline in FY25 Q4

Fast moving consumer goods business Dabur expects to report a drop in revenue for the fourth quarter of the 2025 financial year with profits also down as urban markets have seen a slowdown. 

“Due to delayed and truncated winters and slowdown in urban markets, India’s fast moving consumer goods business is likely to decline in mid-single digits,” said Dabur in a statement, the Press Trust of India reported. “As a result, Dabur’s consolidated revenue is expected to be flattish during Q4 FY25.”

Dabur India’s shares reached a 52 week low on the morning following the announcement, April 3, ET Retail reported. However, despite a lack of growth in its India operations, Dabur expects to see single digit growth in its operations in global locations including Bangladesh, Egypt, and the MENA region which usually accounts for around a quarter of the business’ total revenue. 

“Our internal efforts, such as investing in brand building, enhancing go to market strategies, and increasing operational efficiency, will enable us to achieve this objective,” said Dabur. “Furthermore, we anticipate that the incentives outlined in the recent Union Budget will stimulate consumption and facilitate a recovery in the FMCG sector which Dabur is well placed to capitalise on.”

Although Dabur expects its profit margins to dip in the March quarter, the business announced that it remains committed to driving profitable growth. The business has seen continued resilience in rural markets and in e-commerce and quick commerce.
