Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd. (PGHH) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2026. The company reported sales of ₹ 1145 crores, flat versus the same quarter last year. Profit After Tax (PAT) was reported at ₹196 crores, down 7% versus the same period last year.

Impact of Cost Fluctuations

In the quarter, the company experienced a double-digit impact on profitability driven by commodity cost fluctuations and headwinds like raw material and energy costs, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange rates. However, a significant portion of this was offset by the robust productivity program.

Strategic Investments

In the quarter, the company also continued to significantly invest back in innovation and advertising & promotion (versus past quarter) – in an endeavor to position the company for long-term competitiveness and value creation.

Kumar Venkatasubramanian, Managing Director, Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd. said, “We continue to invest strategically in our brands, innovation and market capabilities, even as the macro-economic landscape remains challenging. We continue to believe that our strategic priorities, combined with the strength of our brands and organizational capabilities, position us well to leverage future growth opportunities and create sustainable long-term value for all our stakeholders. We are excited about the future.”

The first half of FY 2026–27 was marked by sustained innovation across our vectors of superiority. Key milestones include the launches of the upgraded Vicks ZzzQuil with Ashwagandha and Vicks medicated lozenges, alongside the ongoing evolution of our media model to better engage consumers where they are.

Rampur Indian Single Malt, the globally acclaimed whisky from Radico Khaitan Limited (NSE: RADICO), has unveiled a new brand positioning, ’43° | 2° – Born in Nature’s Frequency’. This innovative positioning emphasizes the natural maturation process influenced by the seasonal temperature extremes of Rampur’s Himalayan foothills. The brand’s new platform highlights the cask’s expansion and contraction due to the 43°C summers and 2°C winters, which shapes the whisky’s character.

Unique Climate Influence

The natural positioning is built on the unique climatic conditions of Rampur’s home. The seasonal temperature swings are integral to the maturation process, which is now the signature of the brand. This climate influence is also the subject of international scientific research.

Cultural and Symbolic Significance

The new platform, ’43° | 2° – Born in Nature’s Frequency’, connects the rhythm of the natural world with the maturation process. The number 432, formed by combining 43 and 2, carries cultural and symbolic associations with harmony, balance, and the rhythm of nature. This provides a creative lens to tell a more expansive story about Rampur’s origins and craft.

Market Expansion and Recognition

The campaign is being rolled out across on-trade and retail touchpoints to create a consistent expression of the brand’s new platform. It is complemented by digital storytelling featuring actor Mihir Ahuja, which brings the idea of 43° | 2° to a wider audience.
