Orkla India Reports Revenue Growth Amid Rising Competition and Supply Chain Recovery
Orkla India, led by MD Sanjay Sharma, reported a 10.4% year-on-year revenue increase to Rs 659 crore in Q1, with profits rising 11.12% to Rs 87.7 crore. The company attributes growth to broad-based demand across categories, channels, and geographies, despite earlier supply chain disruptions linked to regional conflicts. Increased competition from smaller and regional brands is driving innovation and experimentation, while Orkla focuses on enhancing its product portfolio with added nutritional benefits to appeal to younger consumers. Price inflation in spices has been managed to maintain healthy margins.
