are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied.
The result documents are available on our company's website as well as the
stock exchanges. So, I'll start with a brief strategic update across our key
geographies and businesses. Across markets, our priorities remain consistent,
strengthen our brands, expand consumer reach, build differentiated portfolio,
deepen distribution and invest in capabilities that support sustainable and
profitable growth.
I'll start with India. India continues to be a strong growth engine for LT Foods.

Our strategy is centered on premiumization, portfolio expansion, deeper
distribution and digitally enabled execution. During the quarter, we
strengthened our portfolio with Daawat Delight, Rozana Platinum, and new
formats such as biryani gravy and biryani masala.
We are also seeing encouraging traction in health-focused offerings, including
brown, red and black rice, while our biryani kits have grown by 38% during the
first half. Our brand investments are translating into measurable outcomes.
Against category growth of approximately 1.3%, our branded portfolio grew by
nearly around nearly 8%, supporting 140 basis point increase in market share
on year-to-date basis.
Household reach increased from 56.2 lakhs to 67.5 lakhs over the last year.
Through our project Vistaar, we are increasing direct distribution, feet-on-
street capabilities and assortment productivity. Alongside this, investments in
supply chain and sales digitalization are improving forecasting, frontline
execution and on-shelf availability.
With branded basmati still significantly underpenetrated in India, we see a long
runway to acquire consumers, premiumize the category and expand into
adjacent consumption occasions. Now, I'll cover the United States. That United
States remains our largest international market and an important growth
engine supported by strong brands, category leadership and established
omnichannel presence and strong distribution.
We continue to strengthen our core rice portfolio while expanding into
convenience-led and value-added consumption occasions. During the period,
we advanced our ready-to-heat portfolio, expanding microwaveable formats
and continued premiumization across Royal and Golden Star and rice.
We are also investing in digital commerce and consumer discovery capabilities
to keep our brands visible and relevant as the path to purchase increasingly
moves across digital and AI-enabled platforms. Our ambition is to leverage our
leadership into rice to build a broader branded foods platform in North
America.

If I talk about Europe, Europe continues to be an important strategic market
for us. While the operating environment remains challenging. We have made
meaningful progress in strengthening the underlying business and creating a
more scalable platform for the future growth. During the quarter, we further
expanded our customer base and secured new mainstream private label
business across Germany and the Nordic markets.
We have strengthened our presence in France and are expanding our
commercial coverage across Europe. Together, these initiatives are increasing
our participation across both mainstream and ethnic channels and
substantially broadening the opportunity available to us.
At the same time, we remain sharply focused on improving the quality of the
business through better product and channel mix, procurement efficiencies,
automation, productivity improvement, and disciplined cost management. Our
strategy from here is very clear. Scale the mainstream business, deepen our
presence across key European markets, strengthen higher margin
opportunities, and continue improving the efficiency of our operating model and
keep growing and further strengthening the Daawat brand in ethnic market.
Overall, Europe remains in a investment and scale-building phase, but the
business today is on a stronger footing than it was few quarters ago. We have
expanded our customer base, strengthened our commercial organization, and
improved organized operating performance. Our focus now is on translating
these gains into sustainable growth and progressively stronger profitability over
the medium term.
Middle East continues to be an attractive long-term growth opportunity for LT
Foods despite being a highly competitive and fragmented market. During the
period, the region delivered strong volume growth, outperforming both last
year and growth was supported by deeper market penetration, expansion of
private label partnerships, and continued strengthening of our core branded
portfolio.
