Shares of Gillette India gained over 5 percent on Wednesday after the company reported strong March quarter and full-year earnings.
As per NSE data, Gillette India shares were trading at Rs 8,319.50, up Rs 428.50 or 5.43 percent, at 2:35 pm.
Gillette India reported a 21.4 percent year-on-year rise in net profit for the March quarter at Rs 192.5 crore, compared to Rs 158.6 crore in the year-ago period.

The company said the growth was driven by its product portfolio, execution and continued innovation across categories.
Gillette India also clarified that following the change in its financial year from July-June to April-March, the previous fiscal covered a nine-month period from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The company said its performance has therefore been indexed against the comparable 12-month period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
In a statement, Gillette India MD V Kumar said, "Gillette India continued to deliver strong top-line and bottom-line performance during the fiscal year, led by sustained growth in our Grooming category. Our consistent results over the years reflect disciplined execution of our integrated growth strategy - anchored in a focused portfolio of daily-use categories where product performance drives brand choice; superiority across product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and value; productivity; constructive disruption; and an agile and accountable organisation.
"This integrated approach continues to strengthen our ability to serve consumers, grow categories and create long-term stakeholder value. As we enter the new fiscal year, we remain confident that continued disciplined execution of this strategy will enable sustainable and balanced growth over the long term," he further added.
