During the quarter, with a correction in the tea prices, the India Packaged Beverages business recorded a 4% YoY revenue decline on an elevated base that had seen 24% YoY revenue growth in the same period last year. However, Tata Consumer Products continued to record market share gains in branded tea.

The India Foods business also registered 19% YoY revenue growth in Q1 FY23 on an elevated base that had seen 20% YoY growth in the same period last year.
The salt portfolio continued its momentum and recorded double digit growth during the quarter, despite a high base in Q1 FY22. The premium salt portfolio recorded 36% YoY growth during the quarter, continuing its strong trajectory in line with the company’s premiumisation agenda.
For the quarter ended 30th June 2022, the International Beverages business recorded a revenue growth of 9% YoY. Tetley continued to gain share in the everyday black and specialty segments in the UK. A new variant called the Tetley Gold Brew was launched to drive premiumisation. Additionally, Teapigs in the UK displayed strong growth, which was led by good performance in the out of home, exports, and grocery channels.
Tata Starbucks also recorded a revenue growth of 238% YoY for the quarter, albeit on a low base. This was led by normalised store operations with lower restrictions as the force of the covid-19 pandemic lessened during the quarter.
