Helped by good growth across key categories like oral care, home care, foods and hair oils, Dabur India posted net profit of 16.6 percent for the fourth quarter (January-March) of 2015-16, a company statement said here on Thursday.
The consolidated net profit for the quarter stood at Rs.331.9 crore compared to Rs.284.8 crore posted in the same quarter last year.
"Our domestic FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) business grew at 8.5 percent during Q4 of 2015-16, led by seven percent volume growth," Dabur India chief executive officer Sunil Duggal said.
"Going forward, we are well equipped to take on the emerging challenges and maintain the profitable growth record. We have strengthened our presence across key categories and have grown profitably by entering into newer categories, markets and sales channels," he added.
