Britannia reported Q2 FY26 revenue growth of 4.1% YoY, impacted by ~2-2.5% disruption from GST rate rationalization effective September 22, 2025. PAT grew 23.1% YoY, aided by benign commodity costs and cost-saving initiatives. Management expects a sharp volume-led recovery from mid-November as grammage increases and price reductions reach the market, targeting a return to double-digit top-line growth. The GST cut to 5% on 85% of the portfolio is seen as a structural tailwind against regional unorganized players. Key risks include potential reduction in state fiscal incentives and the need to invest in competitive pricing, which could pressure margins. The new CEO, Rakshit Hargave, joins in December, with Varun Berry transitioning to a support role.
ब्रिटानिया ने दूसरी तिमाही (जुलाई-सितंबर 2025) में अपनी कमाई में पिछले साल के मुकाबले 4.1% की बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की। इस पर जीएसटी दरों में बदलाव का असर पड़ा, जिससे करीब 2-2.5% का नुकसान हुआ। मुनाफा 23.1% बढ़ा, क्योंकि कच्चे माल की लागत कम रही और कंपनी ने खर्च घटाने के उपाय किए। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि नवंबर के मध्य से बिक्री में तेजी आएगी, क्योंकि वे उत्पादों का वजन बढ़ाएंगे और कीमतें घटाएंगे। जीएसटी में कटौती से 85% उत्पाद सस्ते होंगे, जिससे छोटे स्थानीय कारोबारियों को टक्कर मिलेगी। हालांकि, सरकारी मदद घटने और प्रतिस्पर्धी कीमतों के कारण मुनाफे पर दबाव पड़ सकता है। नए सीईओ रक्षित हरगड़े दिसंबर में काम संभालेंगे।
