Revenue Growth In the December Quarter

Britannia Industries’ revenue from operations rose to ₹4,969.8 crore in the December quarter, compared with ₹4,592.6 crore in the same period last year, according to the company’s financial statement. The growth reflects steady demand across its core biscuit portfolio as well as adjacent food categories.

The company said that the quarter's performance was helped by commodity prices staying mostly stable and continued growth in all product segments. Britannia’s portfolio includes brands such as Good Day, Marie Gold, Tiger, and Bourbon, which account for a significant share of its revenue.

Management Commentary On Business Performance

Rakshit Hargave, who was recently appointed chief executive officer of Britannia Industries, said the biscuit industry continues to adjust to revised price points following the Goods and Services Tax rate reduction, as per the news reports. He added that the company’s business grew by around 12% in November and December, as per the management commentary shared with investors.

The company indicated that demand momentum was visible across both biscuits and adjoining categories during the quarter, aided by brand investments and portfolio expansion, according to its filing.
