Tata Consumer Q1 results: Profit jumps 15% to Rs 334 crore; revenue up 10%, margin slips

Tata Group FMCG major posted a 15 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 334 crore for the first quarter of FY26, driven by strong growth in its India business. However, margin pressures from rising tea costs and coffee price corrections weighed on operating performance.

Key Q1 FY26 highlights: Tata Consumer Products

Net profit: Rs 334 crore vs Rs 290 crore YoY (up 15%)

Revenue: Rs 4,778.91 crore vs Rs 4,351 crore YoY (up 10%)

EBITDA: Rs 615 crore vs Rs 668 crore YoY (down 8%)

EBITDA margin: 12.7% vs 15.3% YoY

The company reported a 10 per cent rise in revenue from operations to Rs 4,778.91 crore, up from Rs 4,351 crore in the same quarter last year. The growth was led by continued momentum in core categories like tea and salt, especially in the domestic market.

However, EBITDA fell 8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 615 crore, dragged by higher input costs, particularly in the India tea portfolio, and pricing corrections in the non-branded international coffee business. As a result, EBITDA margin declined to 12.7 per cent from 15.3 per cent a year ago.

Tata Consumer said its India business recorded double-digit growth, with both tea and salt segments delivering strong underlying volume gains. The company continues to benefit from brand strength and premiumisation across categories.

“Our focus on strengthening core categories and investing in brand and distribution is paying off. We remain committed to profitable growth despite short-term margin pressures,” the company said in a statement.
