The company had logged a net profit of Rs 2,612 crore in the April-June quarter a year ago, according to a regulatory filing from HUL.
However, revenue from the sale of products was up 5.15 per cent at Rs 16,296 crore in the June quarter, led by volume growth.
This was at Rs 15,497 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
'HUL reported a consolidated Underlying Sales Growth of 5 per cent and an Underlying Volume Growth of 4 per cent," said HUL in its earnings statement.
However, its EBITDA margin, which was at 22.8 per cent, declined by 130 bps year-on-year, as it continued to step up investments in the business.

Its total income, which includes other revenue, was up 4.7 per cent to Rs 16,715 crore.
Commenting on the results, HUL CEO and Managing Director Rohit Jawa said FMCG demand has continued to remain stable, with a gradual uptick in recency.
'Encouraged by favourable macro-economic indicators, we strategically stepped up our investments to effectively advance our portfolio transformation agenda in this quarter. As a result, we delivered competitive, broad-based growth with an Underlying Sales Growth of 5 per cent, driven by an Underlying Volume Growth of 4 per cent, at a consolidated level," he said.
Over the outlook, Jawa said this 'gradual recovery is to be sustained".
Shares of HUL on Thursday were trading at Rs 2,517.60 apiece on BSE, up 3.31 per cent in the morning trade. PTI KRH KRH DR DR

SLBC sets Rs 2L cr MSME credit target for Bengal
Kolkata: State Level Bankers' Committee (SLBC) has set a target of Rs 2 lakh crore credit line for Bengal's MSME sector in 2025-26. It also envisaged a 15% credit growth in the state's agriculture sector. This was disclosed by SLBC convenor and PNB GM Balbir Singh at a programme on financial inclusion in Bengal under the banner 'Varta', on Thursday. Saying that SLBC had achieved credit target of Rs 1.8 lakh crore for MSME in the state in 2024-25, Singh added that there are 45 lakh registered MSMEs in Bengal, which is 7% of India's total registered MSMEs. In the agri sector, banks disbursed Rs 1 lakh crore in 2024-25, and there will be similar figures this year. The credit to self-help groups would go up to Rs 35,000 crore this fiscal from Rs 30,000 crore last year. Singh added that the credit deposit ratio in the state was 70%, which was higher than the minimum CD ratio needed of 40%. However, in 14 districts, the CD ratio of the banks was much less than the state-level average. Kolkata and Cooch Behar, however, had a CD ratio of more than 100%.

4 maritime veterans hope to make solar-electric catamaran feasible
Panaji: Learning from the failure of Goa's govt-run solar ferry project, a home-grown company built the state's first private solar-electric catamaran that could withstand the tides, currents, and day-to-day realities of Goa's inland waterways. By building a vessel tailored to the state's unique riverine conditions, the company, LRAJ Green Solutions Pvt Ltd, hopes to achieve what public sector efforts could not: an operational and sustainable boat. LRAJ Green Solutions Pvt Ltd is the brainchild of Capt Ruben Fernandes, Larson D'Sa, Capt Jerson Da Silva and Alan Fernandes, veterans from the commercial shipping and solar power industry with decades of experience. While a conventionally powered ferry would consume fuel worth approximately Rs 2.5 crore and emit nearly 800 tonnes of carbon dioxide, the catamaran operates at just Rs 25 lakh in energy costs and emits over 98% less carbon dioxide, the company claims. This not only results in fuel savings of over Rs 2.4 crore, but also opens up the potential to earn carbon credits worth Rs 5 - 6 lakh, said the directors of LRAJ Green Solutions.

Techno Mag Learn More Undo by Taboola by Taboola The vessel, named MV LRAJ Green, is the result of four entrepreneurs who pooled operational insights to solve a problem that to date appears to have stumped the captain of ports (CoP). Govt purchased a solar-electric ferry for Rs 4 crore in 2022 despite the CoP warning that the ferry was unviable. Since then, the solar-electric ferry, 'St Pedro', has been lying unused at the floating jetty in the state capital, with river navigation minister Subhash Phal Dessai saying that the department lacks the technical expertise to operate it. 'We were supposed to operate the 'St Pedro' when the minister said that there is no technical partner to operate the vessel,' said Larson D'Sa, one of the four men behind the MV LRAJ Green. 'During the initial trials, we understood that the 'St Pedro' had a mismatch between its design, technology, and Goa's unique riverine environment. These early setbacks became critical learning points for us,' D'Sa told TOI . The four decided to build new solar-electric hybrid vessels tailored for Goa's inland waterways. The team is confident that their vessel will not meet the same fate as the 'St Pedro'. With learnings from the Kochi Water Metro, the four men approached boat designers from Dubai, maritime engine manufacturers in the Netherlands and Germany, and battery suppliers from China. 'What is different is that on the 'St Pedro', with 100% charge, it would last at the most one hour. Our vessel can have eight hours of operations, and this makes it viable and profitable. It also comes down to the design of the boat, the design of the propeller, the shape of the hull, the weight of the material, and the angle of the propeller blades,' said D'Sa. For now, the MV LRAJ Green will be used for crocodile watching, bird watching, and dolphin watching. The use of silent electric propulsion allows the vessel to get very close to wildlife. During trials, the catamaran demonstrated eight hours of continuous operation on a single charge, maintaining a cruising speed of 6 knots. 'How can a vessel be profitable or sustainable if it has to be charged after every trip? Our propulsion and energy systems operated flawlessly, confirming efficiency and reliability. The vessel has dual charging capability, allowing solar charging during the day and seamless grid charging when solar input is low or unavailable,' said D'Sa.

Spice trader loses 8cr in cumin deal
Ahmedabad: A long-standing business relation between an Ahmedabad spice trader and owners of a Rajkot commodity firm has reportedly gone sour because of unpaid dues over cumin consignments. The Ahmedabad trader has accused the firm's owners of cheating him out of Rs 8.21 crore for 2.03 lakh kg of cumin he delivered to them between Jan 25 and Jan 31 this year. The total prices of the cumin, sent in two consignment, was Rs 8.58 crore, he stated in his police complaint. He alleged that the owners — a father-son duo — deducted Rs 37 lakh as their commission but failed to pay the remaining Rs 8.21 crore. On the trader's repeated follow-ups, he was issued five post-dated cheques amounting to Rs 10 crore. However, he later found out that the said bank account had been frozen. The accused later stopped responding to calls and failed to return either the money or the cumin consignment, he state in the FIR. A case of cheating and breach of trust has been filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and is being investigated.
