TCPL Managing Director and CEO Sunil D’Souza said: We delivered strong performance with improved profitability in a challenging operating environment. Both tea and salt recorded market share gains. Despite inflationary pressures, we delivered double-digit growth in Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) for Q3 (third quarter).”
He added that the company kept the momentum on innovation with several new launches across categories. “We continue to invest behind our brands and new businesses and expand distribution across channels.”
With tea inflation tapering off, the company has seen a significant expansion in the Indian beverages margin. However, with inflation in the foods business, it will address these through the dynamic management of P&L.
“We remain committed to progressing our transformation agenda and building for future growth,” D’Souza said.
Shares of Tata Consumer Products Ltd on Wednesday settled at Rs 742.50 apiece on BSE, up 0.88 per cent from the previous close.
