2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Tata Consumer Products delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue growing 18% YoY to INR 5,400 crore, driven by broad-based volume growth. India business UVG was 16%, with salt revenue up 12% and Sampann surging 69%. EBITDA margin expanded 100 bps YoY to 14.6%, aided by benign tea costs and operating leverage. Growth businesses crossed INR 4,000 crore for the full year, growing 24%. Management guided for double-digit revenue growth and 50-75 bps EBITDA margin expansion in FY27, with A&P spend normalizing to 7.5-8.5% of sales.
