Marico Ltd reported a 14% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 391 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with revenue increasing 22% to Rs 3,333 crore. EBITDA grew 14-15%, though margins declined slightly due to high copra prices. Sequentially, both revenue and profit fell compared to the previous quarter.
