Chairman’s Message
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Ravi Jaipuria, Chairman – Varun Beverages Limited said:
“We are pleased to report a strong performance during this quarter across our markets. Consolidated sales volumes
grew by 19.8% and, together with improved realizations, translated into a 20.4% increase in net revenue from
operations. EBITDA increased by 17.2% to Rs. 23,430.4 million in Q2 CY2026.
In India, we saw healthy volume growth in twenties since the onset of season i.e. from March onwards except for the
month of April which was about flat resulting in overall volume growth for the quarter of 14.4%. Our expanded
manufacturing footprint, extensive distribution network and continued investments in chilling infrastructure continued
to drive growth.
We also extended our exclusive bottling and trademark licence agreement with PepsiCo in India until April 2049 and
removed the earlier restriction requiring VBL to operate solely as an SPV for PepsiCo's business, strengthening our
long-term partnership and creating greater operational flexibility to pursue opportunities that can deliver scale, and
synergies.
We also entered a strategic alliance with Asahi Group Holdings to introduce the iconic CALPIS brand in India,
marking our entry into the value-added fermented dairy beverage category.
The international business maintained strong momentum. Twizza, in South Africa, helped overcoming capacity
constraints, while strengthening our manufacturing footprint and route-to-market capabilities in South Africa. We also
entered into an agreement to acquire the business of Devyani Food Industries (Kenya) Limited, which will provide us
with the ready GTM in Kenya for expansion into carbonated soft drinks and energy drinks.
In accordance with our dividend policy, the Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend of 25% of face
value, i.e., Rs. 0.50 per share, resulting in a total cash outflow of approximately ~Rs. 1,691 million.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in the long-term growth potential across our markets, supported by favourable
demographics, rising disposable incomes and increasing consumption of packaged beverages. With adequate
capacities, a growing and diversified portfolio, strong partnerships and an extensive distribution network, we are well
positioned to deliver sustained and profitable growth and create long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
