Commenting on the performance, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Rakshit Hargave said the business witnessed growth of around 9% in the first two months of the quarter before moderating in March due to supply disruptions in the international business following the West Asia conflict.

The company said e-commerce contributed around 6% to the domestic business during the year, driven by e-commerce-first launches and a premium mix of offerings, while categories such as croissant and wafers continued to witness strong momentum.

Britannia added that it has initiated measures to mitigate potential business implications, including input cost inflation, arising from the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
