The consumer products major said that Harpic delivered double-digit growth in Q3 CY2026 supported by continued strength across emerging markets, including India. It added that the intimate wellness segment also grew double-digits in India.

The company said, Dettol, which is its largest brand, delivered double-digit growth in emerging markets, with innovation supporting continued expansion into new segments and markets. As part of the focus on expanding the brand into new markets and segment, the company has launched washing machine cleaner and Dettol Activ Botany in India.
