Britannia witnessed 8% volume growth in an otherwise subdued quarter.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Varun Berry, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said: “A ~8% volume growth with a sequential increase in revenue and operating profits are satisfactory results in the face of severe commodity inflation leading to a tepid consumer demand scenario in most FMCG categories."
The quarter witnessed a rise in prices of key commodities such as wheat, palm, cocoa, etc., which has led to a margin dip of 290 basis points.
