The demerger became effective on 1 December 2025 after receiving approval from the National Company Law Tribunal. Under the scheme, HUL transferred all its ice-cream brands, including Kwality Wall's, Cornetto, Magnum, Feast and Creamy Delight, to KWIL.

The company said the allotment of KWIL shares will be completed on or before 29 December 2025. The listing is expected within the statutory 60-day window from the receipt of the NCLT order.

The demerger aims to create a dedicated listed ice-cream company in India. It will have a focused management team with more flexibility to run the business. The structure allows the company to pursue strategies suited to the ice-cream segment’s operating model and market dynamics.

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is in the FMCG business, comprising primarily of home care, beauty & personal care, and foods & refreshment segments. The company has manufacturing facilities across the country and sells primarily in India.

HUL’s consolidated net profit increased 3.81% to Rs 2,694 crore on 1.50% jump in total income to Rs 16,388 crore in Q2 FY26 over Q2 FY25.
