On the cost front, total expenditure increased 7.4% YoY and 7.3% QoQ to Rs 4,239.37 crore. Raw material consumption increased 9.8% YoY to Rs 2,799.56 crore.

According to the company, consolidated sales stood at Rs 4,964 crore, up 9.5% YoY, while standalone sales grew 10.0% YoY. The company said healthy volume and value growth, market share gains and profits growing faster than revenue were achieved despite higher fuel and freight costs following the West Asia conflict.
Managing director and CEO Rakshit Hargave said most key categories gained sequential momentum, with the company exiting the quarter with mid-teen revenue growth driven by rapid expansion in e-commerce, strong general trade performance and higher spending on advertising, influencers and promotions. He added that the international business recovered sequentially as supply chain constraints eased toward the end of the quarter.
Looking ahead, Britannia said it remains watchful of the evolving geopolitical situation in West Asia and crude oil volatility, which could impact international operations and domestic input costs. The company plans to drive sustainable growth through innovation, brand investments and continued cost-efficiency initiatives.
Britannia Industries is one of India's leading FMCG companies, manufacturing biscuits, dairy products, breads, cakes, rusks and other packaged food products.
