Emami Q4 results: Net profit rises 8.9% to ₹162.17 cr, revenue up 6.5%
FMCG firm Emami on Friday posted an 8.9 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit for the January–March quarter (Q4FY25) to ₹162.17 crore. The net profit in the year-ago period had stood at ₹148.90 crore.
The consolidated revenue in Q4FY25 was ₹963.05 crore, an increase of 8.1 per cent from the year-ago period.
Sequentially, revenue was down by 8.3 per cent and net profit down by 41.9 per cent.
Emami's international business posted a 6 per cent growth in Q4FY25. The company said the performance came amid geopolitical volatility across Bangladesh, the Middle East, and parts of Africa.
Strong momentum was witnessed across SAARC, SEA, CIS, and African markets, Emami said.
For the full year FY25, revenue from operations at ₹3,809.19 crore was up by 6.5 per cent. Net profit at ₹806.46 crore was higher by 11.5 per cent.
Emami said that organised trade channels comprising modern trade, e-commerce, and institutional sales contributed 27.6 per cent of domestic revenues in FY25, expanding by 140 basis points over the previous year.
Growth in these channels outpaced overall domestic growth, clocking 13 per cent year-on-year growth, the company said.
The company stated it was confident of navigating short-term macro uncertainties through portfolio premiumisation, innovation acceleration, enhanced channel productivity, and strategic international expansion.
Commenting on the performance, Harsha V Agarwal, vice-chairman and managing director, Emami, said the core domestic business continued to demonstrate strong momentum, delivering double-digit growth of 11 per cent in Q4FY25, supported by a volume growth of 7 per cent.
The input costs, he said, broadly remain under control and do not pose any major challenge in the near future. 'Going forward, we're focused on strengthening our core brands and unlocking new growth through brand extensions, premium offerings, and sharper channel strategies.'
For the strategic subsidiaries, Emami is scaling up marketplace and quick commerce presence.
Mohan Goenka, vice-chairman and whole-time director, Emami, said a strong innovation pipeline led to over 25 new launches during the year. 'As international business and strategic investments are poised for a rebound, we anticipate robust, all-round growth in FY26,' he added.
The board approved a special dividend (third interim dividend), amounting to ₹2 per share while celebrating 50 years of Emami. With this, the total dividend payout for FY25 stands at ₹10 per equity share, a payout of 54 per cent on profit after tax.

OPEC+ giants ramp up additional oil to India; market share nears 78%; supplied 375,000 bpd to India in May
NEW DELHI: India's top four oil suppliers and key members of the OPEC+ alliance, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, and the UAE have significantly ramped up production and directed a major portion of the additional output to India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Their collective market share has reached approximately 78% in India, the world's third-largest oil consumer. These nations have supplied an additional 375,000 barrels per day (bpd) to India in May compared to April, according to energy cargo tracker Vortexa. The collective increase surpassed their committed additional production of 359,000 bpd under Opec+'s output expansion plan of 409,000 bpd. Russia maintained its leading position among India's crude suppliers due to ongoing barrel discounts. In the OPEC+ May supply increase, Saudi Arabia agreed to raise output by 166,000 bpd, Russia by 79,000 bpd, Iraq by 37,000 bpd and the UAE by 77,000 bpd. Their exports to India increased by 135,673 bpd, 114,016 bpd, 66,642 bpd and 58,365 bpd respectively, resulting in market shares of 13.1%, 35.4%, 21.4% and 7.6% in May. Their combined share increased by 8.1 percentage points to 77.5%. African suppliers' share decreased to 4.9% from 11.8%, whilst US crude exports to India reduced to 5.7% from 7%. Saudi Arabia, the largest contributor to the group's supply increase, delivered the highest additional volume to India in May, increasing its market share to 13.1%, a 3% point rise from April. This increase resulted from price reductions offered to Asian purchasers, with Saudi Aramco reducing the May OSP for Arab Light by $2.30 per barrel. The premium has decreased to $1.20 above the Oman/Dubai benchmark for Asian buyers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For July loadings, the premium remains at $1.20, after a brief increase to $1.40 for June. "The recent Saudi Aramco's official selling price (OSP) cuts for May loadings, close to four-year low, along with the widening Brent-Dubai Exchange of Futures for Swaps (EFS) made Middle Eastern crude grades more competitively priced than other Brent-linked crudes," Xavier Tang, market analyst at Vortexa said, according to the Economic Times. "Production increases from Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members play an essential role in the Dubai crude price structure," he added. Eight OPEC+ nations have committed to increase output by an additional 411,000 bpd in June and July. The increased supply has affected prices, which have remained between $60-65 per barrel for over two months, significantly below the 2024 average of $80. Saudi Arabia's competitive pricing approach reflects the global competition for India's expanding crude market. "Saudi is offering attractive prices to gain share in India," an Indian refinery executive told the outlet.

India's next mega aquarium coming soon to Hyderabad's Nehru Zoo
Hyderabad is all set to welcome one of India's largest and most immersive public aquariums within the Nehru Zoological Park (NZP). With a tunnel-like walk-through in the future, this INR 50 crore initiative seeks to redefine how tourists experience marine diversity in the very heart of Telangana. Spanning approximately 4,000 square metre, the new aquarium isn't simply another tank-lined museum. The highlight will be a tunnel walk-through attraction, providing the experience of walking under a water dome amid lively aquatic creatures. This interactive feature is intended to generate interest in ocean systems. Hyderabad currently boasts 15 small aquarium tanks with both freshwater and marine creatures, but none of them are as large or technologically sophisticated as envisaged for this new aquarium. As officials promise, this aquarium will take the world-class experience right to the center of the city and plans to be one of the top spots for fun as well as education. What makes this project unique in nature is its association with international marine specialists. Top companies from Singapore and Australia will join hands with Indian engineers and designers. This collaboration is certain to provide a world-class aquatic center, including specially designed climate control, lighting, and filtration systems that maintain the health and longevity of marine life. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Novo Hamburgo (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo The layout will take cues from model aquariums such as the Aquatic Gallery at Ahmedabad's Science City and Marine World in Thrissur, Kerala. Although those aquariums are spread over larger spaces, Hyderabad's project will focus on a compact yet engaging model. The new aquarium is going to be a living classroom. Students from schools, marine biology students, and wildlife professionals will educate visitors on aquatic ecosystems, ecological sustainability, and conservation practices. From the glistening Amazonian arowana to the vibrant African cichlids and ghastly deep-sea fish, the aquarium will have an incredible variety of species from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Officials state that the center will also be divided into thematic regions, possibly symbolizing various aquatic ecosystems like rivers, lakes, coral reefs, and deep seas. All of the regions will include digital information boards, augmented reality equipment, and guided tours for better understanding. This large aquarium is a tourist destination, but it's also a strategic investment in Hyderabad's eco-tourism infrastructure. The Nehru Zoological Park has more than 1,500 animals and vast stretches of greenery. The aquarium will be another draw for the zoo, offering an air-conditioned option for hot summer and rainy-day skies. Presently, the proposal awaits clearance from the Central Zoo Authority, a stepping stone to any such large-scale zoological development in India. After it gets cleared, detailed blueprints and timelines will be prepared, and the project work is expected to be over by 2026. The entire development is being carried out under a public-private partnership model so that it is long-term and is done with international standards. What's next for Nehru Zoological Park? Interestingly, the aquarium is just one of the new ventures in the works. Nehru Zoological Park is also upgrading its enclosures for wildlife. A new tiger enclosure constructed of bulletproof glass is on the cards, with INR 2 crore already approved. This 50-meter-wide enclosure will provide guests with a close-up view of tigers in complete safety. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change

Starlink Plans Yet To Be Out In India, A Look At Pricing In Other Nations
Elon Musk's satellite communication company Starlink has received the licence from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), a key milestone that will take it closer towards launching commercial operations in India. It is the third firm, after Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications, to have been issued the licence to provide satellite internet services in the country. A fourth applicant, Amazon's Kuiper, is awaiting approval. According to DoT sources, the satellite-based internet service provider owned by billionaire Elon Musk will begin operations in India within 12 months by offering 600 to 700 Gbps, or gigabytes per second, of bandwidth. While the pricing for the low-Earth-orbit satellite internet service is yet to be announced in India, where data prices are currently among the cheapest in the world, former Starlink India Country Director Sanjay Bhargava said in 2022 that it would cost Rs 1.58 lakh per connection for the first year. From the second year, the cost would reduce to Rs 1.15 lakh, he said. Currently, Starlink has its market in over 100 countries, with residential and roaming plans. The residential plan, in most places, is categorised into two - Residential Lite (for low usage, smaller households) and Residential (for bigger households). According to business news website TechCentral, Zambia is one of the cheapest countries for Starlink satellite internet services in the world and the US, most expensive. Here is a look at Starlink's monthly pricing across countries: In Asia, Starlink is mostly available in Mongolia, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Jordan, Yemen and Azerbaijan. None of India's neighbours, except Bhutan and Bangladesh, have access to this internet service. In Bhutan, the Residential Lite Plan costs about Rs 3,000 and Standard Residential Plan about Rs 4,200. In Bangladesh, the Residential Lite costs nearly Rs 3,000 and the Residential plan costs Rs 4,000. Malaysia offers the Residential Lite plan for around Rs 2,600 and Residential plan for around Rs 4,600. The internet service is available for nearly Rs 4,000 in Japan and nearly Rs 6,000 in the Philippines. In America, the internet service has been launched in almost every country, except a few places like Bolivia and Venezuela. The Residential Lite costs around Rs 2,500 and the Residential, Rs 4,000 in New York. In Canada, the first one is available for Rs 6,800 and the second, for nearly Rs 9,000. Similarly, Starlink services are available in a majority of European countries, barring Bosnia, Ukraine, and Herzegovina, and Serbia. In France, the Residential Lite costs Rs 2,800 and the Residential plan, nearly Rs 4,000. The United Kingdom currently offers only the Residential plan for approximately Rs 8,700. The Residential Lite and Residential plans are available in Italy for Rs 3,400 and nearly Rs 5,000, respectively. Niger, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are among the few African nations currently offering Starlink services. The Residential Lite is available for around Rs 4,000, and the Residential for around Rs 6,000 in Ghana. Nearly all of Australia and New Zealand are covered by the internet service provider.
