Between the April-June and July-September quarters of FY23, the biscuit major will take a price hike between 6 per cent and 7 per cent, Varun Berry, managing director, Britannia Industries, told analysts after the company's earnings call.
At its presentation, the company said a substantial portion of the price increase will happen in the second quarter of FY23. The company has also accelerated its cost-efficiency programme across verticals.
"There has been a drop as far as volumes are concerned. Our volumes are in single digits. But the number of packets we sell is flat. Hopefully, this will start to rise," said Berry.
