New Delhi, August 27: FMCG major Dabur India Limited has clarified that its manufacturing operations and primary distribution infrastructure in Nepal remain fully functional following recent flash floods along the Tibet–Nepal border.
This comes after severe flooding triggered by a glacial breakdown near the Gyirong Port crossing point. While regional infrastructure has been affected in border districts, Dabur has reported negligible impact across its operational network.
The company’s manufacturing facilities at Kathmandu and Birganj are running smoothly, the company said. While the floods have caused extensive damage to local roads and bridges near the Tibet border, Dabur’s key logistics channels remain intact.
This clarification helps mitigate panic amongst its shareholders, with flash floods remaining a constant challenge in the Himalayan state. With Nepal contributing around 2-3% of Dabur’s sales, the impact of the floods on its books remains negligible.
While the broader FMCG sector is now facing mild pressure due to sentimental concerns around the Nepal floods, Dabur’s clarifications is expected to help stablise its stock price. However, regional transport delays could cause brief supply disruptions
