4. 4 Hindustan Unilever Limited
Company: Hindustan Unilever Ltd
Introduction:
Hindustan Unilever Ltd is India's largest fast-moving consumer goods. The company operates in seven business
segments. Soaps and detergents includes soaps, detergent bars, detergent powders and scourers. Personal
products include products in the categories of oral care, skin care (excluding soaps), hair care, talcum powder
and color cosmetics. Beverages include tea and coffee. Foods include staples (atta, salt and bread) and culinary
products (tomato-based products, fruit-based products and soups). Ice creams include ice creams and frozen
desserts. Others include chemicals and water business.
Hindustan Unilever Ltd was incorporated in the year 1933 as Lever Brothers India Ltd. In 1956, Hindustan
Vanaspati Mfg. Co. Ltd. and United Traders Ltd merged with the company and the name was changed from
Lever Brothers Ltd to Hindustan Lever Ltd. The company acquired Lipton in 1972, and in 1977 Lipton Tea
(India) Ltd was incorporated. Brooke Bond joined the Unilever fold in 1984 through an international
acquisition. Pond's (India) Ltd joined the Unilever fold through an international acquisition of Chesebrough
Pond's USA in 1986.
The liberalization of the Indian economy, started in 1991, clearly marked an inflexion in the company's and the
Group's growth curve. The removal of the regulatory framework allowed the company to explore every single
product and opportunity segment, without any constraints on production capacity. Simultaneously, deregulation
permitted alliances, acquisitions and mergers.
The erstwhile Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO) merged with the company with effect from April 1, 1993. In
the year 1996, the company and Lakme Ltd formed a 50:50 joint venture company namely, Lakme Unilever
Ltd, to market Lakme's market-leading cosmetics and other appropriate products of both the companies.
Subsequently in 1998, Lakme Ltd sold its brands to the company and divested its 50% stake in the joint venture
to the company.
In the year 1994, the company and US-based Kimberly Clark Corporation formed a 50:50 joint venture
company namely, Kimberly-Clark Lever Ltd, which markets Huggies Diapers and Kotex Sanitary Pads. The
company also set up a subsidiary in Nepal, Unilever Nepal Limited (UNL), and its factory represents the largest
manufacturing investment in the Himalayan kingdom.
In the year 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General Foods, with significant interests in
Instant Coffee. In the year 1993, it acquired the Kissan business from the UB Group and the Dollops Icecream
business from Cadbury India. As a measure of backward integration, Tea Estates and Doom Dooma, two
plantation companies of Unilever, were merged with Brooke Bond. Then in the year 1994, Brooke Bond India
and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Ltd (BBLIL), enabling greater focus and ensuring
synergy in the traditional Beverages business. Finally, BBLIL merged with the company with effect from
January 1, 1996.
The internal restructuring culminated in the merger of Pond's (India) Limited (PIL) with HUL in 1998. The two
companies had significant overlaps in Personal Products, Speciality Chemicals and Exports businesses, besides
a common distribution system since 1993 for Personal Products. The two also had a common management pool
and a technology base.
In January 2000, the government decided to award 74 per cent equity in Modern Foods to the company, thereby
beginning the divestment of government equity in public sector undertakings (PSU) to private sector partners.
The company's entry into bread is a strategic extension of the company's wheat business. In 2002, the company
acquired the government's remaining stake in Modern Foods..
5. 5 Hindustan Unilever Limited
In the year 2002, the company made its foray into Ayurvedic health & beauty centre category with the Ayush
product range and Ayush Therapy Centres. In the year 2003, the company acquired the Cooked Shrimp and
Pasteurised Crabmeat business of the Amalgam Group of Companies, a leader in value added Marine Products
exports. Also, the company launched Hindustan Unilever Network, Direct to home business. In the year 2004,
the company launched 'Pureit' water purifier.
In the year 2005, Lever India Exports Ltd, Lipton India Exports Ltd, Merry weather Food Products Ltd, Toc
Disinfectants Ltd and International Fisheries Ltd were amalgamated with the company. In February 2006,
Vashti Detergents Ltd (VDL) merged with the company. In September 2006, Modern Foods Industries (India)
Ltd and Modern Foods & Nutrition Industries Ltd was merged with itself. In October 2006, the company
divested its 51% controlling stake in Unilever India Shared Services Ltd, now known as Capgemini Business
Services (India) Limited (CGSL) to Cap Gemini SA.
In March 2007, Sangam Direct, a non-store home delivery retail business, operated by Unilever India Exports
Ltd (UIEL), a fully owned subsidiary was transferred to Wadhavan Foods Retail Pvt Ltd (WFRPL) on a slump
sale business. Also, the company carried out demerger of its operational facilities in Shamnagar, Jamnagar and
Janmam and formed three independent companies, namely Shamnagar Estates Pvt. Ltd, Jamnagar Properties
Pvt Ltd and Hindustan Kwality Walls Foods Pvt Ltd. In June 2007, the company changed its name from
Hindustan Lever Ltd to Hindustan Unilever Ltd.
In the year 2008, the company announced its collaboration with the Indian Dental Association (IDA) in
conjunction with World Dental Federation (FDI) through its Pepsodent, leading oral care brand to help improve
the oral health and hygiene standards in India. In April 2008, the company demergered and transferred certain
immoveable properties to Brooke Bond Real Estates Pvt Ltd. In January 2010, the company inaugurated the
new corporate office of the company.
In April 2010, the company approved the scheme of amalgamation of Bon Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hindustan Unilever Ltd., with the company. The appointed date for the abovementioned scheme was April 01,
2009 and the scheme shall be effective from April 28, 2010. Consequent to the amalgamation, Bon Ltd ceased
to be a subsidiary of the company.•
During the year 2010-11, Kissan forayed into new market segment in three big categories. It launched Kissan
Fruit & Soya, a delicious blend fruit juice and soya milk, which enjoys a differentiated proposition in this
market. The brand also entered into the Indian (non-sweet) spreads market with the launch of Kissan Creamy
Spread across key towns. In Bakery division, the company launched two new products, namely Chapi and
Cream Rolls. During the year, the company divested 43.31% stake in Hindustan Field Services Pvt Ltd in favor
of Smollan Group (the jv partner). Thus, Hindustan Field Services Pvt. Ltd. ceased to be a subsidiary company.
Lakme Lever Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of HUL, expanded the network of Lakme Beauty Salons
during the year with the opening of 11 company owned and managed salons, along with 18 franchisee salons.
As of March 31, 2011, the company had over 35 brands spanning 20 distinct categories. Its portfolio includes
household brands, such as Lux, Lifebuoy, Surf Excel, Rin, Wheel, Fair & Lovely, Pond's, Vaseline, Lakme,
Dove, Clinic Plus, Sunsilk, Pepsodent, Closeup, Axe, Brooke Bond, Bru, Knorr, Kissan, Kwality Wall's and
Pureit.
In December 2011, the company demerged the FMCG exports business including specific exports related
manufacturing units of the company into its wholly owned subsidiary Unilever India Exports Ltd (UIEL). The
scheme became effective from January 1, 2012.

Competitor Parle Product Mix:
Colgate vs Pepsodent (Tooth Paste):
Colgate is a complete company with its major focus being dental health. Hence colgate has several times come
out with variants like Colgate for sensitive teeth, normal colgate, colgate gel etc. However, whatever innovation
it brings, Pepsodent is not far behind. Pepsodent is a strategic business unit of Hindustan unilever ltd and is one
of the toughest competitor for Colgate. These two toothpaste brands have always been at loggerheads and the
situation does not look like improving in the near future. Where colgate has the brand value, Pepsodent has the
powerful distribution suppot of HUL. Because of all other products of HUL, pepsodent reaches even rural areas
easily and hence has a high turnover.
24. 24 Hindustan Unilever Limited
HUL vs P&G (Detergents, shampoos, soaps) –
The mother of all FMCG rivalries, a rivalry which is observed closely everyday, yet it is observed from the
point of view of products and not the umbrella brand. The HUL vs P&G rivalry exists in every retail counter or
modern retail showrooms. And it is most prominent in personal care or hygiene products like Detergents,
shampoo, soaps, and others. P&G has head and shoulders, HUL has dove. P&G has Olay, whereas HUL has
Sunsilk and Tresemme. P&G has Old spice, HUL has Axe. Thus, powerful products are present in both the
companies, both of them die hard rivals to each other. However, each of the companies have their own
trademark products as well. For exampel HUL has Pure it which P&G does not have.
Amul vs Kwality walls (Ice cream) –
The ice cream market has two major competitors who take away the majority market share within themselves.
These two are Kwality walls and Amul ice cream. Out of these two, Amul has been an established ice cream
player since decades in India. However, once Kwality walls entered the market, it has taken away the market by
storm by introducing many different types of ice cream which the customers loved. Furthermore, because of the
deep pockets of HUL, Kwality walls could market itself much better.

Pricing Strategy of Hindustan Unilever Limited:
Price is an important element in marketing mix, because it directly relates to revenue generation. Price is the
one, which creates sales revenue – all other parts of marketing mix are costs. Pricing has to be done whenever a
new product is launched, its variant is launched, a product is launched in new geographies, to counter
inflationary trends, or company bids for industrial customers.
HUL has adopted the Market Penetration Method of pricing. It focuses on the quality of the products keeping in
mind the pricing strategy. This helps improve and generate large sale volume for their products. It aims at
maximizing the market share and to produce new product lines. A few examples are:
Lux soap small @ 10 Rs
Knorr Soaps @ 10 Rs
Lifebuoy @ 22 Rs
Hamam family pack @ 95 Rs
Wheel Detergent @ 10 Rs
Vim Bartan Bar with option of 10 Rs and 20 Rs
Taj Mahal with range of 10-75
Clinic , Sunsilk , Dove shampoo sachets @ 2Rs , 5 Rs
As per as the HUL is considered, realizing that the consumers do not necessarily upgrade in a linear fashion
HUL offered products at every price point and provided value added options for different product categories by
practicing segmented marketing. For example, Indian detergent market is structurally like a pyramid: laundry
soap, low priced detergents, mid-priced detergents and premium powders. HUL has Wheel laundry soap, Wheel
detergent powder and International Wheel Active at the base. Rin Shakti powder and bar, Sun Light powder and
Super 501 bar at mid-price level and International Surf Excel at the top.
As per as the Lux is considered , Hindustan unilever India provides worthy or we can say it's value for money
product_to_their_customer_in the form of LUX beauty soap. This company faces the Indian market
competition with_the_local_market beauty soap product; therefore they try to give their product which is
having good quality at cheaper rate or product which normal consumer can afford so they can take over the
most_of_the market share. Beauty soap and beauty products are in huge demand in Indian market. in any
market if a company change the product price then there is high risk of price war between the competitor and
this thing will automatically leads toward a profit and loss. Its prices are nearly or lesser to the other
soap available in the Indian market.
The shampoo experience was offered at a price that delighted the consumers of very specific target audience of
lower middle with low monthly household incomes. The company observed that target market would consider
buying a shampoo only if it was within their range. The insight that shampoo sachet of Rs.2 makes the monthly
budget for average family size of a five having one wash per week to be Rs.40. This was too much and if it
could be reduced to the budget of the Rs.2 per person per month and the family budget of Rs.10, they would
definitely use a shampoo. This led to the idea to create 2 to 5 Rs shampoo sachet, which initially seemed almost
impossible but with few years of research of formula and packaging; it was launched and was the great success
for HUL and these sachets include dove and other brands which falls under the line of shampoos.

Pricing Strategy of Competitors:
PARLE PRICING STRATEGY: - Parle G has adopted the Market Penetration strategy i.e. low price along with
capturing of a large market Also they focus on low prices and provide good quality products at the same time,
which means it uses the value pricing method. This benefits Parle G by having a competitive edge in terms of
large market share which is around 40%: both rural and urban presently.
For setting the price of Parle hide & seek biscuit, a survey was taken in the urban &semi-urban markets; on the
basis of which hide & seek was introduced. It was found that the potential consumers were ready to pay a
premium price for an innovative product like chocolate chip biscuits. Thus, Parle adopted market skimming
where the product is high priced and also of high quality. It includes the cost of chocolates, packaging & other
processing cost. All these show customer status, which is also one of the reasons for parle hide & seek’s high
price.
A separate example for explaining the pricing strategy of Parle is its product Parle Creams For this product
Parle uses going rate method only as a reference rate. In this case, Parle Creams were introduced after
Britannia’s Cream Treats with similar variants but at Rs.5 per packet of biscuit and not Rs.10 like that of
Britannia’s cream treats.
GODREJ CONSUMER GOOD PRICING STRATEGY: - Godrej Consumer Products introduced smaller pack
sizes of some of its soap and put the 50 gm cakes of Cinthol, and Fair Glow at Rs.5 while Godrej No.1 offered
for Rs.4 meant especially for states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh to increase per capita
consumption.
PROCTOER & GAMBLE PRICING STRATEGY: In 1990’s era, P&G incorporated value pricing strategy.
The company adopted this strategy by cutting its coupon, production and logistical cost by effectively
increasing efficiency and it increased its advertising by 20 percent. Within the period of six years this strategy
resulted in higher brand loyalty and stronger brand image. The strategy of P&G was quite opposite to that of
competitors and marketing practices on that time but resulted in greater success. Now days, P&G has the most
effective pricing of its brands and customer loyalty is as enough that they are willing to pay extra for company’s
brands. P&G gives discount offers on its different products time to time but not frequently as it experienced in
1990s that coupon and discount only decrease customer’s brand loyalty
Comparing pricing strategy of the companies Viz HUL, Parle etc it can be concluded that both the companies
are operating with similar pricing strategy which is penetrative and competitive in nature and are able to cater
the needs of Indian customers and as per as the HUL is considered they have the huge market share in Indian
market in context to Parle, godrej consumer goods, Britannia and so o.
