Varun Beverages said it undertook targeted initiatives in India to drive volumes and strengthen domestic portfolio. Pack upsizing, selective price-point launches in identified markets to onboard new consumers, and new launches in the energy and juice based drink segments were some of the initiatives.
Varun Beverages share price gained as much as 2% after the result.
Varun Beverages approved an interim dividend of Rs 0.50 per share for the Financial Year 2026.
The interim dividend will be paid on and from Tuesday, May 5, 2026 to those shareholders whose name appears in the Register of Members of the Company or in the list of beneficial owners maintained by the Depositories as on Friday, May 1, 2026. Total cash outflow would be Rs 169 crore.

Coal India's FY26 dividend estimate suggests its yield remains competitive with some bank fixed deposits, though it trails the highest rates in the market. The consensus also points to limited room for any fresh payout after dividends already declared this year.
At the current share price of Rs 456, Coal India's dividend yield based on the Bloomberg FY26 estimate of Rs 25.23 per share works out to about 5.53%. That compares with declared FY26 dividends of Rs 26.40 per share, which gives a realised yield of 5.79%.
The comparison matters for income-focused investors weighing dividend stocks against fixed deposits. While Coal India's projected yield remains close to some deposit rates, it does not match the highest offers in the latest FD tables.
UltraTech Cement is expected to report double-digit growth in fourth-quarter revenue and profit, with stronger volumes likely to support earnings even as pricing stays mixed and per-tonne profitability remains under pressure.
Bloomberg estimates suggest volume-led growth was the main driver of the quarter rather than pricing gains. While revenue is seen rising ahead of last year, margins are expected to improve only modestly, indicating higher sales helped absorb cost pressures. Brokerages broadly expect dispatch growth across the consolidated business, though views differ on whether realisations improved or weakened sequentially.
Coal India Ltd. is expected to report broadly flat March-quarter revenue and lower profit, with stronger coal realisations and better e-auction premiums partly offsetting softer volumes and continued demand weakness from the power sector.
Bloomberg estimates indicate revenue may remain little changed year-on-year at Rs 3.787 lakh crore, while Ebitda is seen rising 4%. Profit is projected to decline 5% to Rs 9,125 crore. Ebitda margin is expected to improve to 3.22% from 3.11% a year earlier.
The key earnings driver this quarter is expected to be realisation rather than volume growth. Analysts see higher blended selling prices, helped by a stronger e-auction premium over fuel supply agreement prices and a richer sales mix, cushioning the impact of lower dispatches. Investors will watch whether pricing strength can sustain into FY27 if domestic demand remains uneven and global coal prices stay volatile.
