ITC says consumer spending rises 4.6 pc to Rs 34,000 cr in FY25, launches 100 new FMCG products
New Delhi: Multi-conglomerate ITC said consumer spending on the company's FMCG products has increased 4.6 per cent to nearly Rs 34,000 crore in FY25, and the firm has expanded its play with 100 new products in the segment. According to the latest annual report of the company, ITC, which has presence in the branded packaged foods, cigarettes, personal care products, education & stationery products, agarbattis & matches, has a reach across over 26 crore households in India. Besides, "digitally enabled sales have grown rapidly in recent years and, together with modern trade, now account for 31 per cent of your company's FMCG portfolio", ITC said addressing shareholders. A year before, ITC had reported a growth of 12 per cent on consumer spending on the company's FMCG products to nearly Rs 32,500 crore in FY24, with over 25 crore households having access to its various brands. According to ITC, its FMCG business faced subdued demand conditions and a significant increase in competitive intensity from local/regional players. Live Events "Costs of several major inputs such as edible oil, wheat, maida, potato and cocoa witnessed sharp escalation, especially in the second half of the financial year, weighing on margins," it said, adding it exerted pressure on bottomline through focused cost management interventions, judicious pricing actions and premiumisation. ITC measures annual consumer spending as the sum total of what consumer spends on buying goods from the company. It is the net sales turnover of the brands, along with channel margins and taxes. Its FMCG portfolio consists of over 25 Indian brands, which are largely built through an organic growth strategy leveraging institutional synergies in a relatively short period of time. Some of them leads in their segments such as Aashirvaad in Branded Atta, Bingo! in the Bridges segment of Snack Foods, Sunfeast in the Cream Biscuits segment, and Classmate in Notebooks. ITC has logged a revenue of Rs 21,981.57 crore from FMCG businesses and is creating a future-ready portfolio including value-added adjacencies backed by smart omni-channel capability and excellence in supply chain to rapidly scale up businesses. "Over 100 new products anchored on the vectors of Health & Nutrition, Hygiene, Protection & Care, Convenience & On-the-Go, Indulgence etc., were launched across target markets during the year, leveraging the R&D platforms of your Company's Life Sciences and Technology Centre (LSTC) and agile product development teams across businesses," ITC told shareholders. Now, ITC's growth strategy is to foray into value-added adjacencies and categories of the future by leveraging its 25 powerful mother brands it has established over the years. In branded packaged foods, ITC said the industry witnessed severe headwinds during the year due to subdued consumer demand and unprecedented inflationary pressure. However, it has "sustained its position as one of India's largest and fastest growing branded packaged foods businesses, leveraging a robust portfolio of brands, a slew of first-to-market products, regionally curated offerings, supported by an efficient supply chain and distribution network." ITC through its strong farm linkages, procurement efficiencies, brands and deep & wide multi-channel distribution network, with growing presence in new gen channels such as e-commerce, modern trade, continues to deliver competitive advantage. In personal care space, ITC achieved "robust volume growth" led by rapid scale-up in new genaration channels as e-commerce, q-commerce and modern trade. Besides domestic market, ITC is expanding export footprint of its FMCG businesses, with a reach now spanning over 70 countries.

Bad News For Depositors: HDFC Bank Cuts FD Rates Again In June 2025– Details Inside
New Delhi: HDFC Bank has once again slashed its fixed deposit (FD) interest rates. This marks the second cut this month. The bank starting June 25, 2025 has reduced rates by 25 basis points on select FD tenures for deposits below Rs 3 crore. This latest move comes just two weeks after a similar rate cut on June 10, following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to lower the repo rate from 6 per cent to 5.5 per cent. As India's largest private bank, HDFC's back-to-back cuts are likely to influence other lenders and impact FD investors. FD Rates Cut for Key Tenure HDFC Bank has revised the interest rate on fixed deposits with a tenure of 15 months to less than 18 months. Earlier, general customers earned 6.60 per cent, and senior citizens received 7.10 per cent. After the latest cut, the rates have dropped to 6.35 per cent for regular customers and 6.85 per cent for seniors. For deposits under Rs 3 crore, the bank now offers FD interest rates ranging from 2.75 per cent to 6.60 per cent for the general public and 3.25 per cent to 7.10 per cent for senior citizens, depending on the tenure. Penalty on Early FD Withdrawal If you plan to break your FD before it matures, keep in mind that HDFC Bank charges a penalty. As per the bank's rules, you'll earn 1 per cent less than the interest rate applicable for the actual duration your money stayed in the FD—not the rate you originally booked. So, early withdrawal could mean lower returns. Savings Account Rates Also Reduced from June 24 Along with the FD rate cut, HDFC Bank has also reduced interest rates on savings accounts. Effective June 24, 2025, the savings rate has been cut by 25 basis points—from 2.75 per cent to 2.50 per cent per annum for all account balances. The interest on savings accounts is calculated daily and credited every quarter. No Change in Recurring Deposit (RD) Rates HDFC Bank's recurring deposit (RD) interest rates remain unchanged, ranging from 4.25 per cent to 6.60 per cent for general customers and 4.75 per cent to 7.10 per cent for senior citizens, depending on the deposit tenure. These rates have been in place since June 10, 2025. Back-to-Back Rate Cuts With two rate cuts in one month, HDFC Bank customers will now earn slightly less on new fixed deposits and savings accounts.

Sensex tops 84,000-mark, Nifty ends above 25,600
The domestic equity market indices continued their rally for the fourth consecutive session on Friday, with the Sensex crossing 84,000 mark for the first time in nine months, led by easing geopolitical tensions, easing oil prices and renewed buying interest from foreign investors. The 30-share BSE's Sensex rose 0.36 per cent, or 303.03 points, to close at 84,058.9. The index had last ended at 84,266.29 on October 1, 2024. The broader Nifty gained 0.35 per cent, or 88.8 points, to end at 25,637.8. 'Indian equity benchmarks staged a sharp rebound this week, reversing early volatility to close on a firm footing. The rally was underpinned by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a steep decline in crude oil prices, which buoyed investor sentiment across sectors,' said Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Ltd. In the last two trading sessions, foreign portfolio investors net bought Rs 13,991.4 crore of domestic shares. On the contrary, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold Rs 784.16 crore worth of equities on a net basis. Global risk assets rallied as a notable shift in tone from several US Federal Reserve governors signalled a dovish turn in monetary policy. Speculation intensified around a potential rate cut as early as July. 'The recent geopolitical stability has improved risk sentiment, as seen in the broad-based market participation. Moreover, positive developments around potential trade agreements could further strengthen the bullish bias. We continue to recommend a 'buy on dips' strategy on the index, with an emphasis on selective stock picking for better opportunities,' said Ajit Mishra – senior vice president, research, Religare Broking Ltd. Broader markets outperformed, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 extending their winning streak to six consecutive sessions. The midcap pack rallied more than 2 per cent during the week, while the smallcap universe delivered an outsized move, jumping over 4 per cent for the week. Sectorally, the market breadth tilted positive with most NSE indices ending in the green. Nifty Oil & Gas outshone peers with a 1.19 per cent uptick, followed by Nifty Infrastructure and Nifty Energy, which climbed 0.89 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively. PSU Banks, pharma, metals, and media also posted moderate gains, rising between 0.4 per cent and 0.55 per cent. On Friday, the NSE companies that gained the most included Jio Financial Services (3.87 per cent), Asian Paints (3.15 per cent), Apollo Hospitals (2.94 per cent) and IndusInd Bank (2.89 per cent). 'Going ahead, Nifty will maintain overall positive bias and head towards 25,900-26,000 levels in the coming week being the measuring implication of the last week's range (25,200-24,500),' Bajaj Broking Market said in a note. The current rally is corroborated by positive market breadth, characterized by broad-based sectoral participation, which adds further credibility to the ongoing uptrend. The upper band of the recent consolidation range 25,100-25,200 is likely to reverse its role and act as key support in coming weeks, the note said.
