Operational profitability remained resilient, with EBITDA reaching Rs 1,538.1 crore\u2014maintaining a healthy margin profile of 24.2% despite elevated marketing inputs.<\/p>\n
Performance across product categories was uniformly strong, with all four major business segments posting double-digit growth. Powdered and liquid beverages, led by Nescaf\u00e9, recorded a 20th consecutive quarter of double-digit expansion, driven by deeper coffee penetration and premium offerings.
