Marico Ltd’s stock dropped nearly 5 percent on Tuesday due to political unrest in Bangladesh, a key market for the company. Bangladesh contributes approximately 11 percent of Marico’s consolidated business.

In the last fiscal year (FY24), Marico Bangladesh Ltd reported revenue of Rs 1,103 crore, representing 11 percent of Marico’s total consolidated revenue.

In its quarterly report, Marico stated its goal to reduce the revenue contribution from Bangladesh to less than 40 percent by the end of fiscal year 2027. For Q1 FY25, Bangladesh achieved a 10 percent constant currency growth (CCG), demonstrating resilience and sustained business momentum.

Marico highlighted its international business performance, noting growth despite macroeconomic challenges and currency devaluations in certain regions. The company reported strong growth in markets such as the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and South Africa, which has helped diversify its international revenue base.
