QSR companies likely to see sales growth in FY26 on urban recovery
Financial Express Pune
|March 22, 2025
AFTER MULTIPLE QUARTERS of weak sales, quick-service restaurants (QSRs) may see a turnaround in FY26, led by an urban recovery, sector experts and top executives said.
The fiscal stimulus measures announced in the recent Budget, focus on value meals and a strategy of not taking price hikes are likely to be contributors to growth in the next fiscal.
Experts also point to a low base effect, which will kick in from FY26, that could aid growth.
"For the last ten quarters, we took no price hikes and that was a conscious decision we took. This has allowed us to keep things affordable for consumers and drive market share gains," Sameer Khetarpal, MD & CEO, Jubilant FoodWorks, said in a media interaction.
