Bajaj Consumer Care Shines in Q1 FY27: 28% Revenue Growth & Doubled EBITDA

Bajaj Consumer Care Limited (NSE: BAJAJCON) has delivered a strong start to FY27, reporting robust growth in revenue and profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company maintained healthy margins despite volatile raw material prices, reflecting effective pricing strategies, disciplined cost management, and broad-based business growth.

Strong Financial Performance

During the first quarter of FY27, Bajaj Consumer Care recorded significant improvements across its key financial metrics.

Q1 FY27 Highlights

• Revenue: ₹341 crore, up over 28% year-on-year
• EBITDA: ₹84.4 crore, more than doubled compared to the same quarter last year
• EBITDA Margin: 24.7%
• Profit After Tax (PAT): ₹70.7 crore
• PAT Margin: 20.7%

The strong earnings growth was driven by higher sales, improved operating efficiencies, and disciplined cost optimization.

Effective Response to Raw Material Volatility

The company faced significant fluctuations in raw material costs during the quarter, primarily due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Despite these challenges, Bajaj Consumer Care successfully protected its profitability through selective price increases and material loss reduction (MLH) initiatives across its product portfolio.

Gross margin stood at 61.8%, representing an improvement of 510 basis points year-on-year, although it moderated slightly on a sequential basis due to cost pressures.

Broad-Based Growth Across Markets

Bajaj Consumer Care reported healthy demand across both domestic and international markets.

Key business highlights include:

• Strong growth in the general trade channel, matching the performance of organized retail.
• Healthy expansion across urban and rural markets, with rural demand showing a notable recovery.
• A strong rebound in the international business, supported by improved performance across multiple overseas markets.

The balanced growth across distribution channels and geographies reflects the company’s diversified business model and strong brand presence.

Focus on Operational Efficiency

Alongside revenue growth, Bajaj Consumer Care continued to emphasize cost discipline and operational efficiency.

• Advertising and promotional expenses were maintained at 14.6% of revenue, supporting brand visibility while ensuring cost control.
• Fixed costs, including employee expenses, were optimized, resulting in savings of more than 600 basis points compared to Q1 FY26.

These measures contributed significantly to the company’s margin expansion and improved overall profitability.
