Varun Beverages Q3 Profit Rises 13.5% on Revenue Growth Amid Margin Pressure
Varun Beverages reported a 13.5% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 830 crore for Q3 CY2026, with revenue increasing 33% to approximately Rs 6,815 crore. The growth was driven by strong volume increases in India and international markets. However, sequentially, profit and revenue declined due to seasonality and higher packaging costs, which also led to a contraction in gross and EBITDA margins. The company declared a Rs 0.50 interim dividend and noted a shift toward low-sugar products amid cost pressures.
