He termed the revenue growth “reasonable,” despite minor disruptions during the quarter due to GST-related supply chain transitions, which are expected to normalise soon.

Berry added that adjacent bakery categories such as rusk, wafers, and croissants continued to show strong double-digit growth, reinforcing Britannia’s strength in diversified product lines.
