In the Indian FMCG space, momentum is building as the company reports strong uptake across key categories such as condoms, deodorants, fragrances, pregnancy-detection kits, hair-removal sprays, almond-hair-oil and petroleum-jelly. The brand is gearing up to debut new facewash and talcum powder offerings, signalling an intent to deepen coverage. Wider retail reach spanning modern trade, general trade and e-commerce combined with improved shelf execution is driving repeat purchase behaviour and higher market penetration. Continued investments in brand-building and activation are underpinning category awareness and more favourable unit economics, positioning the portfolio for sustained growth.

The companys B2B exports business is gaining strong traction, with strengthened customer relationships translating into larger allocations and robust order inflows across priority markets. Leveraging certification advantages and a consistent track record of quality, the business is achieving higher win rates in tenders and securing long-term supply programs, underlining its competitive positioning and growth momentum.

Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, chairman and MD, said, Q2 FY26 is a milestone for Cupid the strongest quarter in our history and, more importantly, a proof-point that our strategy is working across India FMCG, B2B exports, and Diagnostics. What excites me is the quality of growth: brand acceptance in India, deeper relationships and large allocations in exports and certification tailwinds that expand our addressable markets. With capacity expansion and smarter procurement, we are removing execution bottlenecks and building a durable growth engine. We remain on track for our Rs 335 Cr topline in FY26 and will reassess guidance during H2 in light of the constructive developments across our portfolio.
