It holds both retail and foodservice<\/h2>\n

Beyond consumer biscuits and bread, it has a foodservice pillar of buns for fast food chains. These two are different in nature. Retail is hard to forecast because it competes for shelf space and requires ad spend. Foodservice scales with the number of stores a client runs, making shipment volume easy to predict.<\/p>\n

Holding both makes it easier to smooth out plant utilization. It can run foodservice to fill in when retail demand dips. Consolidated revenue for FY2026 (year ended March 2026) was \u20b92,044 crore, up from \u20b91,874 crore in FY2025.<\/p>\n

It also exports, and biscuits for Indian grocery stores overseas account for a certain share.<\/p>\n

Why buns are a difficult product<\/h2>\n

For a restaurant chain, a hamburger bun is a component that determines both taste and appearance. Unless it arrives every day at the same size, color, and springiness, stores nationwide won't serve the same product. And it doesn't keep long.<\/p>\n

India is vast, and some regions see temperatures above 45 degrees in midsummer. Ship it chilled, freeze and thaw it, or build a plant in each region \u2014 this choice determines how far a chain can expand. A bun supplier becomes directly involved in a chain's store-opening plans.<\/p>\n

Points for Japanese companies<\/h2>\n

When starting a restaurant chain in India, who bakes the bread or buns is a question decided early on. Building an in-house plant comes only after the store count has grown to a certain level; before that, it's outsourced.<\/p>\n

When approaching the company, what needs checking is whether it runs frozen or ambient-temperature logistics, which cities it can reach, what the minimum order quantity is, and how far it will go to accommodate spec changes. If a Japanese-style bread (dough formulation and texture) is wanted, that needs to be worked out from the prototyping stage.<\/p>\n
