Britannia Q1 Profit Rises 14% Amid Higher Costs from Middle East Conflict
Britannia Industries reported a 14% rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 591-593 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, driven by volume growth and price increases. Revenue increased by 8-9%, exceeding estimates, despite higher costs linked to the Middle East conflict, which raised fuel, freight, and commodity expenses. The company noted recovery in its international business and expects to monitor ongoing geopolitical and crude oil price impacts on operations and input costs.
