Tata Consumer delivered a strong Q2 with 11% revenue growth to INR 3,734 crore and 30% EBITDA growth, with margin expansion of 220 bps driven by international turnaround and non-branded business. India beverages grew 8% (tea volumes +3%), India foods +16% (volumes +6%), and the growth portfolio (NourishCo, Sampann, Soulfull, SmartFoodz) surged 39%, now contributing 18% of India business. International EBIT jumped 60% led by UK restructuring. Management remains cautiously optimistic on India demand but flagged US coffee softness and rural stress. Key risk: sustained competitive intensity in US coffee and potential tea share erosion if commodity prices remain volatile.
टाटा कंज्यूमर ने दूसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 11% बढ़कर 3,734 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। मुनाफा 30% बढ़ा, और मार्जिन (कमाई का अनुपात) में 2.2% का सुधार हुआ। भारत में पेय पदार्थों की बिक्री 8% बढ़ी, जिसमें चाय की बिक्री 3% बढ़ी। खाद्य पदार्थों की बिक्री 16% बढ़ी। नए उत्पादों (जैसे नूरिशको, संपन्न, सोलफुल) की बिक्री 39% बढ़ी, जो अब भारत के कारोबार का 18% है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय कारोबार में मुनाफा 60% बढ़ा, खासकर ब्रिटेन में बदलावों से। प्रबंधन भारत में मांग को लेकर सावधानी से आशावादी है, लेकिन अमेरिकी कॉफी बाजार में कमजोरी और ग्रामीण इलाकों में मुश्किलों को लेकर सतर्क है। मुख्य जोखिम: अमेरिकी कॉफी में कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा और कच्चे माल की कीमतों में उतार-चढ़ाव से चाय बाजार में हिस्सेदारी कम हो सकती है।
