Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is India's largest FMCG company, well-known for iconic brands in home care, personal care, and food segments. With a reach extending to nine out of ten households in India, HUL is a significant player in the daily lives of Indian consumers.

The company reported a 2% Underlying Sales Growth (USG) and a flat Underlying Volume Growth (UVG) for the quarter ending September 2025, amidst GST-induced disruptions and monsoon impacts, reflecting resilience in challenging economic conditions.

HUL's financial performance for the first half of FY'26 showed a 4% growth in sales compared to the previous year, despite a slight contraction in EBITDA margin due to higher A&P investments and temporary GST-related impacts.

HUL's strategic focus remains on accelerating volume-led growth through innovations and market expansion, with significant investments in brand strength, distribution networks, and future-ready digital channels to capture emerging demand trends.

Leadership changes and strategic focus outlined by CEO Priya Nair signal a renewed emphasis on market segmentation, brand modernization, and digital-first marketing strategies to drive competitive growth.
