Management said the 9.5% revenue growth alongside 17% profit growth indicates a return to healthy expansion, supported by strong momentum in biscuits and adjacent categories, as well as a relatively stable commodity environment.

The company noted that while the biscuit industry remains in a stabilization phase following the GST rate reduction, the business recorded around 12% growth in November and December, driven by sustained media investments and portfolio innovations such as the 50-50 Dipped range, Veg cake variants and Doodh Marie Gold.

Looking ahead, Britannia said it will continue to focus on strengthening brand equity through elevated consumer experiences, sustained investments and localized product innovations tailored to diverse demographic and regional preferences across India.

Britannia Industries is an Indian multinational food products company, which sells biscuits, breads and dairy products.
