Commenting on the results, Amar Sinha, Managing Director of ABD, stated, “Our Q1FY27 performance reflects the continued progress of ABD’s transformation journey, with steady topline growth, a richer portfolio mix and disciplined execution across the business. While global supply chain disruptions had a short-term impact during the quarter, the underlying business remains resilient. We are currently focused on investing in our people, strengthening our brands and accelerating our premiumisation agenda, while maintaining strong execution of our backward integration projects. The recently implemented India-UK FTA is margin accretive, while also supporting higher-end portfolio opportunities through improved sourcing flexibility. These priorities are central to building a more agile, efficient and future-ready ABD, and support our focus on driving topline growth in the mid-teens over the medium term.”
