Jyothy Labs Ltd., the homegrown fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company known for brands like Ujala, Exo, and Maxo, reported a decline in its second-quarter profit even as revenues registered a marginal uptick. The subdued bottom-line performance reflects ongoing input cost pressures and muted volume growth across key categories. Despite the dip in profit, the company’s resilient operational structure and stable demand in household care products suggest a gradual recovery ahead, driven by improving rural sentiment and easing raw material costs.
