Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd. spent ₹121.16 crore on advertising and sales promotion during the March quarter, down from ₹158.34 crore in the previous December quarter. For the nine-month period ending March 31, total ad and promotional expenses stood at ₹452.44 crore.

The company posted a marginal 1.1% increase in profit after tax, reaching ₹156.10 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Total expenses rose by 11.2% year-on-year to ₹791.1 crore, largely due to higher operational costs. The company, known for healthcare and feminine hygiene products under brands such as Vicks and Whisper, reported total income of ₹1,010.78 crore for the quarter-also reflecting a marginal decrease compared to the same period last year.
