Tata Consumer to Expand in Food & Beverage Space with New Products and Acquisitions

As per Financial Express news reports, Tata Consumer Products, the FMCG arm of the Tata Group, is planning to strengthen its position in the food and beverage segment. This will be achieved through organic growth and select acquisitions. This comes amidst increasing demand for functional drinks and food items in India.  

Recent Acquisitions and Product Range 

 In January 2024, Tata Consumer acquired Capital Foods (known for Ching’s Secret) and Organic India for a combined value of ₹7,000 crore. FY25 was largely spent on integrating these businesses. Tata Consumer already has a wide portfolio, which includes: 

• Tea, coffee, salt under its core brands 

• Water and ready-to-drink products through NourishCo 

• Kitchen essentials under Tata Sampann 

• Breakfast items, mini-meals and snacks under Soulfull and Ching’s Secret 

• Health products like cold-pressed oils, saffron, honey, and herbal supplements under Organic India 

New Launches Coming Soon 

The company will soon launch a sports drink in cup format (180 ml) priced at just ₹10. This product was tested in parts of eastern India and will now be sold across the country through general trade. 

 An energy drink, also in 180 ml packs priced at ₹10, is being fine-tuned after testing in the southern market and will likely follow soon. 

Tata Consumer Future Plans  

The Financial Express reports that the company is targeting food categories that aren’t too crowded or focused on commodities. It will avoid segments like edible oil, rice, wheat flour, and maida. Instead, it will look at areas with less competition and more growth potential. 

 The company will also expand the Ching’s Secret line by launching Korean noodles, and Organic India will continue to offer new health-focused teas and products. 

Financial Performance of Tata Consumer 

Tata Consumer ended FY25 with a revenue of ₹17,618 crore and a profit of ₹1,287 crore — up by 16% and 6%, respectively, from last year. The company expects urban demand to grow further in FY26, helped by government fiscal support. 
 

At 9:28 AM, Tata Consumer share price was up 1.33% and was trading at ₹1,128.50.  

Conclusion 

Tata Consumer is betting on innovation, health-focused products, and affordable pricing to grow in India’s evolving FMCG market. With a clear strategy and selective expansion, the company aims to stay ahead of the competition.
