What Does This Mean for India’s Packaged Food Industry?
Profit growing faster than revenue shows operating leverage in the biscuit and bakery category. Costs outside raw materials, labelled “other expenses”, grew faster than sales, so the margin gain came from elsewhere in the cost base. The report gives no segment-wise breakdown, so the drivers by product line are not known.
