Britannia Q4 results: Net profit rises 4% to Rs 560 crore, revenue up 9%
Net profit attributable to the owners of the company stood at Rs 559.95 crore in Q4FY25.
Total revenue rose 8.9 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 4,432.19 crore during the quarter.
For the full financial year FY25, consolidated sales stood at Rs 17,535 crore, up 6 per cent, while net profit was Rs 2,178 crore, reflecting a 2 per cent increase YoY.
'With a high single-digit value growth of 9 per cent during the last quarter of the year amidst a tight consumption scenario, the performance underscores our resilience in a challenging operating environment marked by rising commodity prices, changing channel dynamics, and subdued demand across FMCG categories,' said Varun Berry, vice chairman and managing director, Britannia Industries, in the company's earnings release.
Berry added that strategic pricing actions, a nimble approach in emerging channels, and robust cost-efficiency initiatives—which delivered savings of approximately 3 per cent of revenue—helped the company sustain its growth and profitability through the year.
He also noted that Britannia's distribution network now directly serves approximately 2.9 million retail outlets across India, with rural distributors playing a key role in expanding the company's reach in hinterland markets.
New launches during the quarter, such as the e-commerce-first rollout of the Premium range of Pure Magic Choco Frames and Winkin Cow Grow, strengthened adjacent business segments. Meanwhile, the company continued investing in its legacy brands with distinctive promotions for Marie Gold and Good Day.
'As we enter the new financial year, we will continue to closely monitor commodity prices and evaluate their impact, while staying focused on driving healthy, profitable growth and strengthening our market leadership,' Berry said.

Muthoot Finance to inject ₹200 crore into home loan arm for growth
Gold loan firm Muthoot Finance plans to infuse Rs 200 crore into its housing finance subsidiary, Muthoot Homefin, for growth, said George Alexander Muthoot, MD and CEO of Muthoot Finance, in a telephonic interaction with Business Standard. Currently, the assets under management (AUM) of the home loan arm stand at Rs 3,096 crore in Q1 FY26, up from Rs 2,199 crore in Q1 FY25, registering a growth of 41 per cent. Muthoot also said that Belstar – the microfinance arm – will be diversified, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the qualifying assets criteria for microfinance institutions to 60 per cent. Belstar has also added 10 gold loan branches to diversify its loan book. Although collections and recoveries in the microfinance sector have returned to normal levels, a risk-based scoring model has been introduced as a new control measure to improve the quality of lending and to contain stress in the sector. "Earlier, [micro] loans were given left, right, and centre. Now, it is more responsible, and the focus is on giving loans to new customers," he added. Belstar's micro loan portfolio has decreased to Rs 7,500 crore in June 2025, from Rs 10,000 crore in April.

India building commercial silicon fab with 50,000 per month wafer production capacity: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills India is building a commercial-scale silicon-based fabrication facility (fab) that will churn out 50,000 wafer starts per month, even as such fabs usually operate at 20,000-40,000 wafer starts per month, electronics and information technology (IT) minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on minister was referring to the Rs 91,000 crore fab being built by Tata Electronics in Gujarat's Dholera, which was approved in February last semiconductor manufacturing, a wafer is a thin, circular slice of a crystalline semiconductor material, most commonly silicon, upon which integrated circuits are fabricated."Six semiconductor units, one fab and five Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging units, are at different stages of planning, construction and execution. Four more (one silicon carbide fab and three ATMP including the most advanced packaging unit) were approved last week. The entire ecosystem - design, fabrication, packaging, equipment, chemicals, gases - taking shape in Bharat," Vaishnaw said in a post on social media platform of the largest equipment manufacturers—Applied Materials and Lam Research—are setting up their design, production, and validation facilities in the country, he comments came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech that while the first proposal to set up a semiconductor factory in India got killed 60 years back, the country will finally get semiconductor chips that are 'Made in India' and 'Made by Indians' before the year is on the PM's statement, Vaishnaw said semiconductor industry pioneer Robert Noyce had come to India to set up a plant in 1964, but the erstwhile Permit Raj implemented by the ruling Congress Party back then did not allow him to. Royce then moved to Hong Kong and founded global tech major Intel Corporation , Vaishnaw claimed in his "the Mayor of Silicon Valley," Robert Noyce was an American physicist and entrepreneur who co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel Corporation in 1968. Fairchild Semiconductor was a pioneer in the manufacturing of transistors and of integrated circuits, while Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip—the Intel 4004—in 1971. Both companies were founded and incorporated in minister also pointed out that Intel had once again tried to set up a semiconductor unit in India in 2005-06. "Once again, it was not allowed because of the policy paralysis of the UPA regime," Vaishnaw said, questioning Congress General Secretary and Member of Parliament Jairam Ramesh on it. Earlier in the day, Ramesh had posted on X that the Semiconductors Complex Ltd (SCL) was established in Chandigarh during the Congress regime, starting operations in Vaishnaw argued that despite being established so many years back, SCL, Mohali, continues to work at just a lab scale.
