In a separate clarification, Gillette India noted that its financial year has been changed from July-June to April-March. As a result, the previous fiscal year covered a nine-month period from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The company's performance has therefore been indexed against the comparable 12-month period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.

Gillette India's Managing Director, V Kumar, highlighted the company's commitment to delivering strong top-line and bottom-line performance, driven by sustained growth in its Grooming category. The company's integrated growth strategy, anchored in a focused portfolio of daily-use categories, continues to drive its success. As the company enters the new fiscal year, it remains confident in its ability to deliver sustainable and balanced growth over the long term.
