डाबर नेपाल: आम्दानी र नाफा दुवैमा गिरावटDabur Nepal: Both Revenue and Profit Decline

Kathmandu — The business of multinational consumer goods company Dabur Nepal has contracted in the current fiscal year. The company's revenue and profit have both seen a notable decline due to weak consumer demand, economic slowdown, and uncertainty in the market.

According to data released by the company, Dabur Nepal earned revenue of NPR 15.16 billion by mid-March 2026, marking a decline of nearly 5.8 percent compared to the same period last year. In the corresponding period last year, the company's revenue stood at NPR 16.09 billion.

The decline was not limited to revenue alone — the company also suffered a significant drop in profit. Having earned a profit of NPR 1.78 billion last year, Dabur Nepal's profit this year fell to NPR 1.2976 billion. The company's paid-up capital stands at NPR 80 million, its reserve fund has reached NPR 14.14 billion, and its total assets stand at NPR 17.92 billion, while its total liabilities amount to NPR 3.696 billion. India's Dabur India holds a 97.5 percent ownership stake in the company.

Long active in the Nepali market with products such as Real Juice, Chyawanprash, Dabur Honey, Vatika Shampoo, Amla Hair Oil, and Hajmola, many of Dabur's brands are considered market leaders in their respective categories. Through its Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Division based in Banepa, the company also runs herb nurseries and cultivation programs. During the current year, the company introduced new products including Dynamite Energy Drink, Hajmola Minis, Vatika Onion Shampoo, Burst Mango Drink, and Hajmola Jeera, and also began producing Odonil gel pockets and Odopic dishwash bars at its Birgunj-based plant.

According to the company, Nepal's sluggish economy over the past two years, weak economic growth, declining foreign investment, shrinking government revenue collection, and the crisis seen in the cooperative and real estate sectors have directly affected consumption. In addition, the company stated that market closures during the protests of September 2025, along with arson at some major commercial centers, further disrupted its sales and distribution system.

Despite these adverse conditions, Dabur Nepal has continued its efforts to expand the market by automating its sales system, expanding new distribution channels, using digital technology, and increasing investment in brand promotion. The company expects the economy to improve in the coming period, as the new government has prioritized industrial and economic growth — though it concludes that the impact of this is unlikely to be visible in the short term.
