Bakery food company Britannia Industries Ltd on Thursday reported a 21.56 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 679.68 crore for the March quarter of FY26.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 559.13 crore in the January-March quarter a year ago, according to a regulatory filing by Britannia Industries.
Britannia Industries’ revenue from the sale of products rose 7 per cent to Rs 4,685.95 crore in the March quarter.
Its revenue from operations increased 6.46 per cent to Rs 4718.92 crore in the fourth quarter of FY26. It was Rs 4,432.19 crore a year ago.

The total income of Britannia, which includes other income, rose 6.2 per cent to Rs 4,774.37 crore in the March quarter.
Commenting on the results, its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Rakshit Hargave said, “The Business witnessed a steady start to the quarter, with growth of 9 per cent in the first two months, before moderating to a lower number in March, primarily on account of supply disruptions in the International Business following the West Asia conflict”.
For the entire FY26, Britannia’s profit surged 16.5 per cent to Rs 2,537.01 crore. The total consolidated income rose 6.63 per cent to Rs 19,375.62 crore.
“Over the year, we made significant strides in scaling our presence in the rapidly growing e-commerce channel, now contributing 6 per cent to the Domestic business, driven by e-commerce-first launches and a premium mix of offerings,” he said.
Adjacent categories, including Croissant and Wafers, continued their strong momentum, while flagship brands such as Little Hearts and Jim Jam recorded robust double-digit growth.
Over the outlook, he said, “As we step into the new financial year, we have already initiated steps to mitigate any potential implication on the business, including input cost inflation, arising out of the ongoing conflict, and remain watchful of the evolving developments”.
“Going forward, we will continue to focus on driving growth across core and adjacent categories through a robust pipeline of innovations, agile execution and higher investment in advertising and brands,” he said.
