Prabha Narasimhan, managing director & CEO of Colgate-Palmolive (India), said, “During the quarter, GST rates on our entire oral care portfolio were reduced from 18% to 5%. We welcome this move by the Government as a timely step to boost consumer confidence while recognising oral health as a growing national priority. We worked closely with all our customers to pass on the benefit of lower prices to consumers from the effective date.

While we continued to navigate a challenging operating environment, our second-quarter performance reflected temporary disruptions at distributors and retailers across channels following the GST rate revision. Our first-half results cycled a high base of double-digit net sales growth from the previous year, and we expect a gradual recovery in performance in the second half.

Our margin profile remains resilient, supported by disciplined execution of our ‘Funding The Growth’ program. Despite topline headwinds, we stay committed to our long-term strategic goals and continue to prioritise brand investments.

The premium portfolio maintained strong growth momentum, led by Colgate Visible White Purple, our advanced whitening toothpaste.

In Q2, we introduced Palmolive’s newest “Moments” body wash range, designed for distinct bathing experiences throughout the day. The collection includes three unique body washes infused with 100% natural extracts and patented fragrance technologies.

We also launched our latest campaign, “CAVITY-PROOF”, under the flagship Colgate Strong Teeth (CST) brand. The campaign reaffirms the brand’s core promise — the confidence of mothers in Colgate Strong Teeth’s advanced Arginine + Calcium Boost technology, which provides 24-hour non-stop anti-cavity protection for children.'
