Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 3- →Bajaj Consumer Care aspires for consistent year-on-year double-digit growth, targeting low to mid-teens over the medium to longer term (Naveen Pandey, Q1 FY27 call).
- →Recent quarters saw exponential growth: 20% YoY in FY26 and 28% YoY in Q1 FY27, partly due to prior price corrections and strategic actions (Nishita Shanklesha query).
- →Growth is expected to normalize to a slightly lower rate as the company laps the high base but remain in the double-digit range.
- →Volume growth, especially in the Almond Drop Hair Oil (ADHO) portfolio, has been driven by wider distribution and traction in smaller unit price points, with mid-single-digit volume growth in recent quarters rising to low teens in Q1.
- →The non-ADHO "growth portfolio" (including coconut oil and Banjara’s) aims for high 20% growth long term, contributing meaningfully to the overall mix.
