TCPL Managing Director and CEO Sunil D’Souza said: “We delivered another quarter of double-digit revenue growth while balancing margins despite inflationary pressures, weakness of currency and some lag in pricing in International Markets.”
TCPL’s revenue from the Indian market in July-September rose 9.19 per cent to Rs 2,159.95 crore, as against Rs 1,978.08 crore in the year-ago period. While the branded tea category in India was tepid, TCPL continued to gain volume market share, he said.
“In our other core business of salt, despite significant inflation-led pricing, we have continued to gain market share and strengthen our leadership position,” D’Souza added. Its international business contributed revenue of Rs 838.87 crore, up 7.37 per cent compared to Rs 781.27 crore earlier.
“While unprecedented inflation and adverse currency movements in our International business have weighed on our margin this quarter, we will be driving structural cost saving initiatives to improve the trajectory going forward. Our transformation agenda to become a leading FMCG company continues to be on track,” said D’Souza.
Shares of TCPL on Thursday settled at Rs 770.25 apiece on BSE, up 0.25 per cent from the previous close.
