Marico Limited — Others, 11-07-2025: Shareholders meeting

Marico Limited reported a consolidated revenue of ₹10,831 Cr, up 12% YoY, with domestic volume growth at 5% and international constant currency growth at 14%. Operating profit rose 6% to ₹2,139 Cr, with margins at 19.7%, slightly down due to input cost pressures. Recurring net profit after tax increased 8% to ₹1,593 Cr. The India business grew 14% to ₹8,110 Cr, driven by pricing actions amid elevated copra and vegetable oil costs, with a 20.2% margin. The international segment posted 8% growth (14% in constant currency) to ₹2,721 Cr, with margin expansion to 27.9% aided by portfolio premiumisation. Foods and Premium Personal Care portfolios in India now contribute ~22% of domestic revenue, with Foods crossing ₹900 Cr and digital-first brands achieving ₹750 Cr ARR, both scaling rapidly. Marico’s ESG efforts continue with 72.7% renewable energy use, 95% recyclable packaging, and water conservation initiatives creating 444 crore litres of water potential. The Board recommends a final dividend of ₹7 per share, totaling ₹10.50 including interim dividend, with an 85% payout ratio. Key leadership changes include re-appointment of MD & CEO Saugata Gupta for two years from April 2026 and continuation of Chairman Harsh Mariwala as Non-Executive Director beyond age 75.
