Britannia CEO Says Reliance Faces Challenges Entering India's Biscuit Market
Reliance Industries has expanded its Independence biscuit range in Tamil Nadu with packs starting at Rs 5, aiming to enter India's competitive biscuit market. Britannia Industries CEO Rakshit Hargave noted that disrupting the biscuit segment will be more challenging than Reliance's earlier Campa cola launch, as many biscuits are already priced at Rs 5 and Rs 10. Britannia plans to monitor Reliance's entry closely while managing inflation-driven price increases and maintaining profitability amid limited room for aggressive discounting.
