The company’s EBITDA margin remained stable at 23.8 per cent, indicating effective cost management and operational performance. Total expenses for the quarter rose by 17 per cent, amounting to ₹5,405.55 crore. This increase in expenses was primarily driven by higher input costs and increased marketing expenditures.

Domestic sales also saw a notable increase, climbing by 20.4 per cent to ₹6,514.74 crore compared to ₹5,411.02 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. This growth reflects the company’s successful strategies in catering to local consumer preferences and expanding its distribution network.
