The expansion aims to add approximately 15% capacity to the company’s existing operations in the home care and personal care categories. The project is expected to be completed in 18-36 months and will involve an investment of around ₹250 crore.
The investment will be financed through a combination of internal accruals and debt, if required. The expansion is driven by growing customer demand and the company’s objective to strengthen its manufacturing footprint in the region.

First quarter results
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd reported a consolidated net profit of ₹452.5 crore for the first quarter of FY26, marginally up 0.4% from ₹450.7 crore in the same period last year, but fell short of CNBC-TV18’s estimate of ₹480 crore.
For the June quarter, revenue stood at ₹3,662 crore, up 10% year-on-year and broadly in line with the Street’s expectation of ₹3,665 crore. However, the company’s operating performance lagged estimates, with EBITDA falling 4% to ₹694.8 crore against a forecast of ₹739 crore. The EBITDA margin declined sharply to 19% from 21.7% a year ago and was also lower than the anticipated 20.2%.

The company attributed the topline growth to an 8% underlying volume increase, led by strong performance in India and Africa. India posted an 8% revenue growth with 5% volume growth, buoyed by robust demand in home care and hair colour. However, the soaps segment saw muted traction due to price-volume rebalancing.
Shares of Godrej Consumer Products Limited ended at ₹1,230.60, down by ₹0.90 or 0.073%, on the BSE today, September 8.
