It sees the company's growth portfolio as the next major growth engine, while the tea business remains resilient despite weather-related production disruptions.
The brokerage highlights that the company's growth portfolio has scaled up significantly, increasing its contribution to India business from ~8% in FY21 to ~31% in FY26, driven by the rapid expansion of Tata Sampann, Tata Soulfull, Capital Foods, Organic India and RTD beverages.
In contrast, the tea business' contribution declined from ~38%/63% in FY21 to ~24%/39% of the consolidated/India business in FY26, highlighting the company's growing diversification beyond its core tea franchise.
The portfolio has expanded across multiple high-growth categories, broadening Tata Consumer's presence beyond its traditional tea-led business.
The growth portfolio is expected to emerge as the next key growth driver, gradually reducing the company's dependence on its core tea business while reshaping the product mix and tapping into new and large market opportunities.
