While the branded tea category in India is tepid, we continued to gain volume market share. In our other core business of salt, despite significant inflation-led pricing, we have continued to gain market share and strengthen our leadership position. We have accelerated the pace of innovation this year with the number of new launches being twice as much as the same period last year. Our new engines of growth- Tata Sampann, NourishCo, Tata Soulfull have delivered significant growth and are expanding their portfolio and reach. Our out of home businesses- NourishCo and Tata Starbucks have recorded strong growth during the quarter.

While unprecedented inflation & adverse currency movements in our International business have weighed on our margin this quarter, we will be driving structural cost-saving initiatives to improve the trajectory going forward. Our transformation agenda to become a leading FMCG company continues to be on track. We are making consistent progress in expanding our reach across channels, strengthening our innovation capabilities, and embedding digital transformation across the organization. We will continue to stay focused on growth while fuelling our new businesses.”
