Godrej Consumer's Indonesia arm opens new manufacturing facility in Kendal; details here

The facility is part of an approximately ₹250 crore (IDR 500 billion) investment in Kendal to strengthen the company’s manufacturing footprint in the country.

The first phase has been developed across 2.5 hectares of Godrej Consumer Products Indonesia’s (GCPI) 5.5-hectare site in Kendal and is dedicated to household insecticides, strengthening the company’s manufacturing capabilities to serve the Indonesian market and support exports.

Commenting on the development, Aasif Malbari, Managing Director & CEO, Godrej Consumer Products, said, “Our IDR 500 billion investment in the new Indonesian plant will expand home and personal care categories capacity by approximately 15%. This expansion addresses current capacity utilization of 75-80%, positioning us to meet rising regional demand and scale.”

The investment builds on GCPI’s presence in Indonesia since 2010. Since then, the business has grown 4.5 times, while brands including HIT, Stella, Mitu and NYU reach approximately 1 in 4 Indonesian households, the company said in a statement.

GCPL added that built-in, just over a year ago, Kendal has been designed with technology and data embedded into its operations from the start, creating greater visibility and enabling GCPI to operate more effectively and at speed.

In its Q2 business update, the FMCG firm had said its Indonesia business continues to build on the recovery witnessed over recent quarters.

GCPL expects the business to deliver high teens revenue growth, supported by high single-digit volume growth. The performance is being driven by improved execution, sustained market share momentum, and healthy category trends.

GCPL Q2 business updates

Godrej Consumer Products expects to post high teens consolidated revenue growth in the September quarter (Q2 FY27), driven by healthy demand across markets, even as inflationary pressures intensified across several commodity-linked inputs.

“Our standalone business is expected to deliver revenue growth in the teens and high-single-digit underlying volume growth, despite an estimated impact of approximately 100–150 basis points from trade inventory correction,” the firm said.

The firm further added that it expects to deliver another strong quarter in Q2 FY27 despite consumption being impacted by uneven monsoon conditions led by an intensifying El-Niño and inflationary pressures across several commodity-linked inputs, albeit a supportive comparator this quarter.

Meanwhile, input cost pressures intensified during the quarter. While certain commodities had shown signs of moderation towards the end of Q1 FY27, GCPL said Q2 witnessed renewed inflation across several key raw-material baskets, including crude-linked derivatives, palm oils, and other commodity inputs.
