Commentary by Sanjay Sharma, Managing Director & CEO, Orkla India
“Our Q3 FY26 performance reflects the strength of our execution-led, volume-focused strategy in a gradually improving consumption environment. Despite continued deflation in key raw materials prices, we delivered healthy volume growth of 5.4%, with the spice’s portfolio growing over 10%, underscoring the resilience of demand in our core categories.”
“Margin expansion during the quarter was driven by operating leverage, disciplined cost management and mix improvement, resulting in EBITDA growth of 17.7%. As raw material prices begin to normalise and consumption trends continue to improve, we expect value growth to positively leverage on top of volume growth over the coming quarters.”
“Looking ahead, our priorities remain unchanged deepening penetration in core geographies, strengthening our brands through culturally rooted marketing, scaling digital commerce, and expanding our international business, particularly in the GCC. With strong fundamentals and improving macro tailwinds, we remain cautiously optimistic about delivering consistent and profitable growth.”
