All 12 listed Indian FMCG - Personal Care companies are named here, largest first. This is the set of companies people mean when they search for a Nifty FMCG - Personal Care index; NSE publishes its own indices only for the largest sectors, so this equal-weighted set stands in for one. One large company cannot set the reading.

The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the last two years (104 weeks) this sector is 17% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 9% on average over the last four reported quarters.

0 of 12 companies pass the momentum test (5+ points ahead of the Nifty 500 over 3 months, within 20% of the 52-week high).

Ahead of NIFTY 500 on the three-month view for 1 week running; 0 of the 12 companies in the industry index above their 200-day average (2 fewer than four weeks earlier); 0 of those 12 pass the momentum test (no change from four weeks earlier); earnings rising at 7 of the 12 that report earnings.

Ahead of NIFTY 500 for 1 week after being behind, with 0 → 0 of 12 participating. Earnings mixed, 7 of 12 members have higher trailing twelve-month earnings than a year ago.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the gap between them tells the story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 12 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member set to 100 at the start and the sector taking the middle value, so a price line pulling away from flat bars means the market is paying more for the same earnings. A bar turns grey when that figure is lower than the quarter before. The rules are fixed and the same everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover or tap any point to read both values and the gap.

FMCG - Personal Care has done worse than the NIFTY 500 by 16.1% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 9.1%. Marico Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +18.9%. Readings are as of 30 October 2026.

Relative-strength score for the industry: 5.5 as of 30 October 2026 (consolidation, falling).

FMCG - Personal Care has done worse than the NIFTY 500 by 16.1% over 52 weeks and by 9.1% over 13 weeks. 0 of 12 companies we track are beating the NIFTY on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (1 has no relative-strength reading yet), and 4 of the 7 with a long enough price history are ahead of the industry itself.

A score that ranks each company against the others in its industry. The four parts shown always add up to the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or old evidence affects only its own part, never as a hidden adjustment.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 100% evidence confidence.

Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd scores well on valuation against its peers or its own history, but its earnings have not yet improved enough to back that up.

Ranked last: too little evidence (1 company)

Under 60% of the evidence behind this score is available, so it ranks after every company above, whatever the score.

Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in FMCG - Personal Care at +33.5%. Marico Ltd leads on relative strength against the NIFTY, at +6.5%. 2 of 12 companies we track are ahead of the index on that measure (1 has no relative-strength reading yet). Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 30 October 2026.

Price and relative strength

Price · same starting point: Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts: the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

RS vs NIFTY 500: How far ahead of or behind NIFTY 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS NIFTY 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.

RS vs sector: The same measure taken against FMCG - Personal Care itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

2 of 11 FMCG - Personal Care companies held a results call for July to September 2026. Godrej Consumer Products guided: Standalone high single-digit volume growth this fiscal held.

From the results calls for July to September 2026.

Big funds, foreign and Indian, kept their stake about the same over the last two quarters. Founders and promoters kept theirs about the same.

• Spending on new plants and equipment was ₹9,846 crore in the last 12 months, 11% more than a year before.
• Projects still being built shrank 21% in a year.
• 1 FMCG - Personal Care call in the last quarters talked about adding capacity.

Big funds = foreign and Indian institutions, change in their share of ownership across 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies, in percentage points.

Ownership and spending as of 10 October 2026.

This is the written read behind the FMCG - Personal Care figures above: what is actually happening in the industry, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 18 Apr 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 5 themes are live here, 1 of them rated high severity.

The FMCG Personal Care sector is firmly in an expansionary phase. Despite isolated bottom-line pressures, such as ZYDUSWELL's ₹399 million net loss due to acquisition financing costs, the underlying gross margin expansion, aggressive TAM expansion into digital-first brands, and unanimous reports of an improving demand environment make the sector highly attractive.

The FMCG Personal Care sector is demonstrating a robust and accelerating recovery, characterized by aggressive top-line expansion and significant margin accretion. BAJAJCON posted a stellar 32.3% YoY revenue growth to INR 326.5 Cr, driven by a sharp recovery in rural markets.

How old this read is: OLD: this read comes from our FMCG - Personal Care sector brief dated 18 Apr 2026, about 7 months ago. The page says so rather than dressing it up, and a fresh sector dive replaces it the day it runs.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies compared here, at ₹68,359 crore. Godrej Consumer Products Ltd is next at ₹16,536 crore. Zydus Wellness Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 66.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 12 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Hindustan Unilever Ltd is the largest at ₹68,359 crore, 313.4% ahead of Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. Zydus Wellness Ltd's growth is 66.3% from a ₹4,537 crore base, with 20 reported quarters out of the last 20. Fast growth from a smaller base is not yet the same as proven size.

What this means: Hindustan Unilever Ltd is the size to compare against; Zydus Wellness Ltd is the one growing fastest. The faster grower has to keep that growth and turn it into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

This conclusion weakens if: Hindustan Unilever Ltd's growth falls below Zydus Wellness Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

In every all-company table on this page, each figure is the company’s latest single reported quarter. The rankings above them use trailing-twelve-month or current-market values, so a company can legitimately show a different number in each.

Revenue shows both size and speed. A large company can absorb shocks and pay for wide distribution; faster growth can mean market-share gains, new capacity or stronger demand. The best sign is usually growth that lasts without hurting margins and returns.

Gillette India Ltd has the highest OPM among the 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies compared here, at 29%. Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd is next at 28%. Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd has the highest Margin change at +7 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 12 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Gillette India Ltd leads opm at 29%; Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd leads margin change at +7 percentage points.

What this means: Gillette India Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd has the highest Net profit among the 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies compared here, at ₹15,073 crore. Marico Ltd is next at ₹2,078 crore. Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd has the highest Profit growth at 84.6%, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 12 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Hindustan Unilever Ltd earns the most, ₹15,073 crore of profit over the last 12 months, 625.4% above Marico Ltd. Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd shows 84.6% growth from a profit base of ₹251 crore. A fast rate from a small base matters less than a large profit that keeps coming.

What this means: Hindustan Unilever Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies compared here, at 157%. Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd is next at 108%. Gillette India Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +16.6 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd leads ROCE at 157%, 49 percentage points above Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd. A high return reported once may be one good year; a high return reported year after year shows a lasting business.

What this means: Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Withheld from this chart: Marico Ltd (MARICO): its two data sources disagree by up to 4% on reported income across 16 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn, the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies compared here, at 0.72×. Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd is next at 1.64×. Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd has the lowest P/E at 19.3×, so level and change sit with different companies. 10 of 12 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Hindustan Unilever Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.72×, 56.1% below Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd. That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

What this means: A low valuation is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is worked out the same way every time, as the P/E on the last 12 months of reported earnings divided by that growth rate, never on expected earnings. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

FMCG - Personal Care companies show up on 4 of our India lists. The most are on the dividend stocks list (7 companies).

This FMCG - Personal Care comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 12 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 1 has second-source figures left out because the two sources disagree.

Keep these limits visible

• A high growth rate can come from a very small starting figure. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
• A high ROCE can be temporary, or look high because the capital base is small. It is best read beside margin, cash flow and how much is spent back on the business.
• The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks published data only. Management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of it.
• An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
• 1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
• 1 company is missing from the second-source figures on purpose: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Those rows have less evidence; that does not make the business weaker.

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 12 FMCG - Personal Care companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 30 October 2026.

1 of 12 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Marico Ltd (MARICO): its two data sources disagree by up to 4% on reported income across 16 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.

These 24 answers restate the FMCG - Personal Care comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 12 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 30 October 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
