Britannia Q1 Profit Rises 14% Amid Higher Costs from West Asia Conflict
Britannia Industries reported a 14% rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 591 crore for the June quarter of FY27, driven by volume growth and price increases. Revenue grew about 8-9% to nearly Rs 5,000 crore, exceeding some estimates. The company faced higher input costs due to the West Asia geopolitical conflict, which increased fuel and shipping expenses. Despite these challenges, Britannia expanded e-commerce and general trade channels and saw sequential recovery in its international business. Management remains cautious about ongoing geopolitical and crude oil price volatility.
