“We come out of a challenging financial year that witnessed consumption slowdown, particularly in Rural India," said Varun Berry, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Britannia Industries. “We delivered a modest revenue growth of 4 per cent during the quarter, driven by high single-digit volume growth and improved operating margins over last year. Our market share progressed well as an outcome of sustained investments in brands, product excellence, and innovation,” he said in the statement.

“On the Cost & Profitability front, we remain vigilant of the commodity price fluctuations and evolving geopolitical landscape. Our Cost Efficiency Program continues to yield operational savings, ensuring robust operating margins. We are committed to investing in capability enhancement and brand development while maintaining price competitiveness with the clear objective of driving market share and sustaining profit,” said Berry in the statement.
