Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is charting a course for volume-led growth through fiscal year 2027 and beyond. Its strategy hinges on premiumization, fostering consumption, developing markets, and venturing into new product categories. The company anticipates enhanced profitability due to a strategic shift towards higher gross-margin products and improved operating leverage.
