Britannia’s quarterly sales rise despite geopolitical cost pressures, driven by strong e-commerce and innovative marketing

Britannia Industries reports a 9.5% increase in consolidated sales and a 14.1% rise in net profit for the June quarter, amid rising fuel and logistics costs, supported by strategic branding and international growth.

Britannia Industries said its consolidated sales rose 9.5% to Rs 4,964 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, while net profit climbed 14.1% to Rs 593 crore. The company also reported 10% growth in standalone sales and said the board had recommended a final dividend of Rs 90.5 per share.

The latest figures build on a solid March quarter, when Moneycontrol reported that Britannia’s standalone net sales rose 6.32% year on year to Rs 4,553.04 crore and net profit increased 23.04% to Rs 685.47 crore. On a consolidated basis, sales in the March quarter were Rs 4,718.92 crore, up 6.47% from a year earlier, with net profit up 21.14% to Rs 678.34 crore.

In its latest statement, chief executive and managing director Rakshit Hargave said the company had faced higher fuel and freight costs after the conflict in West Asia pushed up logistics and energy expenses. He said Britannia managed to deliver healthy volume and value growth, gained share against rivals and saw strong momentum in e-commerce and general trade. Hargave added that brand campaigns, localised promotions and new products helped support demand, while the international business improved as supply-chain pressures eased late in the quarter. He also said the company remained alert to crude volatility and geopolitical risk, while focusing on innovation, brand spending and tighter cost control.
