New Delhi, Bakery foods company Britannia Industries Ltd has reported a 4.2 percent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 559.13 crore for the March quarter of FY25 despite weak demand and challenging operating environment.
According to a regulatory filing by Britannia Industries late on Thursday, the company had reported a net profit of Rs 536.61 crore in the same quarter a year ago.
Britannia Industries’ revenue from product sales rose 9 percent to Rs 4,375.57.30 crore in the March quarter.
Its revenue from operations rose 8.9 percent to Rs 4,432.19 crore in the March quarter from Rs 4,069.36 crore in the same period last year.
Commenting on the results, Vice Chairman and Managing Director Varun Berry said, “With high single-digit price growth of 9 percent during the last quarter of the year amid tight consumption scenario, this performance underlines our resilience in a challenging operating environment characterised by rising commodity prices, changing channel dynamics and subdued demand across FMCG categories.
Strategic pricing actions, an agile approach in emerging channels, coupled with strong cost efficiency initiatives delivering savings of around 3 per cent of revenues helped sustain growth and profitability,” he added. Britannia’s total expenses grew 10.34 percent to Rs 3,738.63 crore in the March quarter. Britannia’s total income, including other income, grew 8.9 percent to Rs 4,495.21 crore.
Britannia’s net profit for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, grew 2 percent to Rs 2,177.86 crore from Rs 1,248.84 crore in the same quarter last year.
Britannia’s total consolidated revenue grew 7 percent to Rs 18,169.76 crore in 2025. The company, which has been expanding its distribution footprint, now directly serves nearly 29 lakh outlets across the country, while strengthening its presence in rural markets.
Looking ahead, he said, as we enter the new financial year, we will continue to closely monitor commodity prices and evaluate their impact, while remaining focused on driving healthy, profitable growth and strengthening our market leadership.
Meanwhile, in a separate filing, Britannia informed that its board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 75 per equity share of face value of Rs 1 for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
