Exclusive | L'Oréal CEO says no plans for more India acquisitions after Innovist deal - CNBC TV18
L'Oréal has no plans for more India acquisitions in the short term, its CEO Nicolas Hieronimus said, after the Innovist deal. Instead, the beauty company will meet rising demand by raising capacity at its existing Indian factories rather than building new plants. For suppliers, contract manufacturers and partners, that means more local production work ahead — not fresh deal-making.
Key Statutory Highlights

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you supply or manufacture for beauty and personal-care brands, this is a good time to review your plant capacity, quality records and contracts, since L'Oréal's India growth is coming from existing facilities. Please speak to your CA before making any large investment or restructuring decision based on one company's plans.
