-
Sharp surge in prices of key input materials (viz. edible oil, soap noodles, packaging inputs etc.) towards the end of the quarter amidst West Asia conflict; being proactively mitigated through focused market interventions, supply chain agility, cost management and judicious pricing actions.
-
Unprecedented increase in taxes on Cigarettes w.e.f. 1st February, 2026; transition to new tax structure during the quarter
-
Full Year: Net Segment Revenue up 8.2% YoY and Segment Results up 5.1% YoY – Strong performance till Jan’26 driven by strategic portfolio & market interventions
- It may be recalled that relative stability in taxation over the past few years, coupled with deterrent enforcement actions, enabled the legal cigarette industry to recover volumes lost to illicit trade during the years of high incidence of taxation. This also resulted in the concomitant increase in demand for Indian tobaccos, bolstering revenue to the Exchequer from the tobacco sector
- As seen in earlier years, punitive taxes on the legal cigarette industry have resulted in rapid growth of illicit cigarette trade. India is already the 4th largest illicit cigarette market globally according to Euromonitor estimates. It is estimated that illicit cigarette trade causes a loss of appx. Rs. 23,000 cr. p.a. to the Exchequer and accounting for about 1/3rd of the legal industry. It is pertinent to note that illicit trade tends to get embedded in the ecosystem, posing serious challenges to public health and law enforcement; this is borne out by past experience in India and in other regions with high tax incidence
- The recent unprecedented increase in tax incidence on cigarettes will enhance the tax arbitrage opportunities for unscrupulous players and potentially provide further impetus to illicit trade and adversely impact millions of farmers, MSMEs, retailers, local value chains nurtured by the industry, thereby sub-optimising the revenue potential of the tobacco sector
- Strategic approach adopted to mitigate impact of unprecedented increase in tax incidence:
- Staggered and agile pricing actions to minimise risk of significant volume shift to illicit trade & consequent revenue loss to the Exchequer
- Re-architecting the product portfolio leveraging diverse range of powerful trademarks
The Business continues to respond with speed & agility and has taken several steps in the past couple of months to fortify its portfolio and sustain market standing.
Note: As a result of significant changes in the taxation structure for cigarettes w.e.f. 1st February 2026, Gross Revenue and Excise Duties, for the quarter & the full year, are not strictly comparable with those of the previous year.
-
Agri Business Segment performance reflects impact of Geopolitical disruptions, timing difference, and high base
-
Full Year: Segment Revenue up 3% (2 Yr. CAGR 13%)
- Exports relatively subdued during the quarter due to West Asia conflict led disruptions; continued focus on market development and scaling up business leveraging structural capabilities (sourcing, processing, customer relationships)
-
Rapid scale up in exports of Nicotine & Nicotine derivative products during the quarter leveraging state-of-the-art³ facility at Mysuru.
-
Paper Segment performance continues to improve; Q4 Profits up 21% YoY and 24% QoQ
-
Partial relief to industry with the imposition of Minimum Import Price (MIP) on Virgin Multi-layer Paperboard effective 22nd August, 2025 leading to progressive decline in low-priced imports
- Wood prices witnessed moderation amidst improved availability
- Strong growth in Specialty Papers segment led by Décor paper
- Industry continues to represent to policy makers for sustained safeguard measures in respect of low-priced imports of paperboards and coated/uncoated paper
- Packaging and Printing Business witnessed robust growth during the quarter driven by Cartons portfolio.

MACRO ECONOMIC CONTEXT
Global growth improved marginally from 3.3% in 2024 to 3.4% in 2025⁴, albeit remaining appx. 30 bps below the pre-pandemic average of 3.7% p.a. (2010–19). Growth in 2025 was supported inter alia by sustained AI-led investment in technology, accommodative fiscal and monetary policies and relatively favourable financial conditions, largely offset by headwinds from high trade barriers and heightened global uncertainty.
India continued to be one of the fastest-growing major economies in FY26, with Real GDP growth of 7.6% (vs 7.1% in FY25) as per RBI estimates. Domestic economic activity remained resilient, particularly in the second half of the year, supported by private consumption, improving rural and urban demand conditions, income tax rate cuts, GST rate rationalisation and monetary easing. Headline inflation eased in the first half of the year, driven by benign food inflation supported by higher domestic production and favourable monsoons. However, inflation (CPI) firmed up in the second half, reaching 3.4% in March 2026, reflecting uptick in food prices and higher global energy prices following disruptions in West Asia.
India’s macroeconomic outlook remains relatively resilient with Real GDP projected to grow by 6.9% in FY27 as per RBI estimates. The economy is well poised for rapid growth over the medium term, supported by structural drivers such as a favourable demographic profile, rising affluence, rapid urbanisation, accelerated digital adoption and improved infrastructure & connectivity. Bilateral trade deals negotiated recently with the US, UK, the EU, New Zealand and Oman augur well for India’s overall growth outlook.
The ongoing West Asia conflict has heightened concerns around India’s energy security and imported inflation. A prolonged disruption, coupled with emerging El Niño conditions that could weaken monsoons and intensify heatwaves, poses risks to growth, inflation and the Current Account. These factors may also have second-order impacts on consumer sentiment and demand conditions and remain key monitorables in the near term.
OVERALL COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The Company delivered a resilient performance during the year amidst a challenging macroeconomic and operating environment. Overall, for FY26, Gross Revenue at Rs. 80867.49 cr. increased by 10.1%, while EBITDA increased by 4.9% to Rs. 25208.22 cr. In the second half of the year, Gross Revenue and EBITDA grew by 12.2% and 7.5%, respectively. Profit Before Exceptional items and Tax for the year stood at Rs. 26951.47 cr. Earnings Per Share for the year stood at Rs. 16.20 (previous year Rs. 16.07).
CORPORATE ACTIONS
- Final Dividend

Together with the Interim Dividend of Rs. 6.50 per share paid on 27th February, 2026, the total Dividend for the financial year ended 31st March, 2026 amounts to Rs. 14.50 per share (previous year: Rs. 14.35 per share). Total cash outflow on account of Dividend (including Interim Dividend of Rs. 8144.00 cr. paid in February 2026) will be Rs. 18167.57 cr.
- M&A
During the year, the Company acquired 100% shareholding in Sresta Natural Bioproducts Private Limited, an Indian company primarily engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of organic packaged food products under the brand name ‘24 Mantra Organic’ in the domestic as well as international markets, directly and through its two wholly owned subsidiaries abroad, namely Fyve Elements LLC in the USA and Sresta Global FZE in the UAE. Sresta is a pioneer in the domestic organic foods space and is amongst the leading players in organic packaged staples category in India. Sresta has a strong network of appx. 27,500 farmers spread across appx. 1.4 lakh acres of land in India for sourcing of organic raw materials and has multiple processing facilities.
- FMCG – OTHERS
The FMCG – Others Segment delivered a strong performance during the year, with double-digit revenue growth driven by broad-based scale up across categories, notwithstanding heightened competitive intensity.

Nearly 100 new products, anchored on the vectors of Health & Nutrition, Hygiene, Protection & Care, Convenience & On-the-Go and
⁴ As per IMF WEO April 26
Indulgence, were launched across target markets during the year, drawing upon the R&D platforms of the Company's Life Sciences and Technology Centre (LSTC) and agile product development teams across Businesses.
'Always on' digital marketing technologies and platforms are being increasingly leveraged to sharpen customer acquisition & demand generation and deepen consumer engagement. Several impactful and clutter-breaking campaigns were launched during the year: these include the 'Dear Maa' campaign for 'Sunfeast Mom's Magic' (championing child adoption as a meaningful social change initiative), 'Dil se Karo Baat, Bhagwan Ke Saath' for 'Mangaldeep' (which celebrates one's divine connection with God), etc., which widely resonated with consumers.
The Company's smart omni-channel distribution network, with tailored channel-specific assortments, continues to sharp target opportunity areas through superior product availability and visibility. The Go-to-Market strategy continues to be strengthened through focused investments aimed at enhancing distribution infrastructure and driving deeper market penetration. The Company also continues to improve last-mile efficiency and productivity by leveraging digital interventions powered by AI/ML and GenAI technologies. In rural markets, direct coverage enhancement was supported through a hub-and-spoke distribution model and extensive rural stockists network to deepen reach across priority markets. The Company's digitally powered eB2B platform – UNNATI continues to be scaled up during the year covering more than 8 lakh outlets facilitating sharp and direct engagement with retailers, superior analytics and personalised hyperlocal recommendations facilitating deeper brand engagement.
The Business witnessed robust growth in NewGen channels on the back of sharp execution of channel-specific joint business plans, collaborations, format-based assortments and category-specific sell-out strategies. Digitally enabled sales have grown rapidly in recent years and, together with Modern Trade, now account for 34% of the Company's Branded Packaged Foods, Personal Care Products and Incense Sticks (Agarbattis) and Safety Matches sales.
In line with the ITC Next Strategy of building a future-ready portfolio, accelerating growth and enhancing competitiveness, the Company has in recent times undertaken several value-accretive acquisitions in the digital-first and organic space, viz. M/s Sresta Natural Bioproducts (24 Mantra Organic Foods), Sproutlife Foods (Yogabar), Mother Sparsh Baby Care (Mother Sparsh) and Ample Foods (Prasuma & Meatigo), which delivered robust growth of ~60% during the year and together are clocking ARR over Rs. 1350 cr.
Over the years, the Company has made significant investments in setting up state-of-the-art Integrated Consumer Goods Manufacturing and Logistics facilities (ICMLs) proximal to large demand centres. Currently, 12 ICMLs are operational enabling delivery of fresher products, reduction in distance to market and delayering of operations. Further, the Company continues to leverage the benefits of the state-of-the-art Ancillary Manufacturing cum Logistics Facilities (AMLFs) at Pudukkottai and Kapurthala. These automated facilities are co-located with the ICMLs and provide several structural advantages including inventory optimisation, delayering operations and lowering cost of market servicing.
Branded Packaged Foods Businesses
The Branded Packaged Foods Businesses remain focused on addressing emerging consumer needs through innovations anchored on the vectors of health, nutrition, wellness, immunity, naturals, indulgence and convenience. The Company's institutional strengths, viz. superior consumer insights, robust distributed manufacturing & omni-channel distribution architecture, capabilities of the Company's Life Sciences and Technology Centre (LSTC) and cuisine expertise resident in ITC Hotels Limited, a group entity, enabled the Business to effectively navigate uncertainty and volatility in the operating environment and elevated commodity prices.

Education and Stationery Products
The Business delivered a resilient performance during the year in the backdrop of subdued realisations amidst deflationary conditions due to low priced paper imports and opportunistic play by local/regional players. Performance in the second half of the year improved significantly driven by focused interventions and calibrated pricing actions, with the flagship brand 'Classmate' consolidating its market leadership position in the Notebooks segment.
In keeping with its proposition of 'Enjoy Learning', the Classmate brand continues to provide differentiated offerings leveraging technology via eduGAMES Infinity, which provides students the opportunity to play and learn new skills.

The Business continues to scale up the share of value-added products in its portfolio and enhancing supply chain efficiency by sourcing products manufactured closer to markets.
FMCG – CIGARETTES
The Business continues to make strategic portfolio and market interventions, with focus on competitive belts and to counter illicit trade and reinforce market standing. The Business fortified its presence in focus markets with the launch of several differentiated offerings across segments, demonstrating agility in responding to evolving market dynamics. Several innovative variants have been introduced recently under the ‘Classic’, ‘Gold Flake’, ‘American Club’ and ‘Players’ trademarks, amongst others.
During the year, the Business delivered a resilient performance on the back of sustained volume-led growth momentum. Differentiated and premium offerings continued to perform well leveraging mainstream trademarks and innovation. Consumption of high-cost leaf tobacco inventory weighed on margin, which was partially mitigated through a combination of product mix enrichment and strategic cost management interventions.
A punitive and discriminatory taxation / regulatory regime over the years has led to significant operating challenges for the legal cigarette industry in the country. It may be recalled that, relative stability in taxation over the past few years, coupled with deterrent enforcement actions, checked the growth of illicit trade and enabled the legal cigarette industry to recover lost volumes. This also resulted in the concomitant increase in demand for Indian tobaccos and bolstering revenue to the exchequer from the tobacco sector.
However, increase in GST rate from 28% of transaction value to 40% of retail sale price along with a steep hike in excise duties w.e.f 1st February, 2026 upon phasing out of Compensation Cess, have resulted in an unprecedented increase in tax incidence on cigarettes.
The extremely stringent regulations along with the discriminatory and steep taxation on cigarettes have had numerous negative, albeit unintended repercussions. These include rapid growth in illicit cigarette volumes, resulting in sub-optimisation of the revenue potential of the tobacco sector and significant loss to the Exchequer, large component of tobacco consumption remaining outside the tax net and persistently adverse impact on the livelihood of tobacco farmers.
The Business has adopted a strategic approach to mitigate the impact of the unprecedented increase in tax incidence and sustain its market standing. This includes, staggered and agile pricing actions to minimise the risk of a significant shift of volumes to illicit trade and consequent loss of revenue to the Exchequer, and re-architecting the product portfolio by leveraging a diverse range of powerful trademarks. The Business continues to respond with speed & agility and has taken several steps in the past couple of months to fortify its portfolio and sustain market standing.
The Company continues to engage with policymakers for a framework of pragmatic, equitable, non-discriminatory, evidence-based regulations and taxation policies that balances the economic imperatives of the country and tobacco control objectives, cognising for the unique tobacco consumption pattern in India.
The year ahead presents an extremely challenging operating environment in view of the unprecedented increase in taxation that will undoubtedly test the resilience and adaptability of legitimate players in the industry. Notwithstanding such challenges, the Company remains confident of fortifying its market standing in the legal cigarette industry leveraging its robust product portfolio of differentiated and premium offerings, strong innovation pipeline, world-class quality, integrated seed-to-smoke value chain, cutting-edge manufacturing & digital technologies and best-in-class in-market execution capabilities.
AGRI BUSINESS
The Agri Segment witnessed significant disruption during the year, triggered by sweeping tariff measures imposed by the United States, and climate-related supply uncertainties in key producing regions. Supply chain disruptions and logistical challenges, following the West Asia conflict towards the end of the year, led to deferrals of call-offs by certain customers. On the domestic front, the Government imposed stock limits and export restrictions on key agri-commodities to ensure food security which limited the opportunities for the Business.
8
Leaf Tobacco
The Business continued to leverage its strong customer relationships, crop development expertise, superior product quality, world-class processing facilities and globally recognised sustainability credentials to strengthen its position as a reliable partner for leading global customers. During the year, the Business consolidated its position as the largest Indian exporter of unmanufactured tobacco and increased its share of business with international buyers of Indian tobacco through focused business and crop development interventions.
The Business continues to set benchmarks in leaf threshing operations by leveraging technology and digital capabilities to enhance quality assurance, process consistency, compliance, traceability and productivity. Sustained investments continue to be made in the Company's Green Leaf Threshing (GLT) plants towards world-class quality, processing technology and capability upgrading. The electrical energy needs of all three GLTs are substantially met from renewable sources in line with the Company's low-carbon growth philosophy.
Digital tools such as AI/ML-powered real-time price discovery systems continue to be leveraged for facilitating efficient leaf tobacco buying across auction platforms. In addition, digitisation interventions are being scaled up in areas spanning crop development, sourcing, process optimisation and supply chain operations, which are expected to enhance operating efficiencies, while driving down cost in a structural manner.
In view of the significant increase in taxes on cigarettes, the domestic demand for leaf tobacco in the near term is expected to be subdued, weighing on the prospects of the key stakeholders of Indian tobacco industry viz., Indian farmers, leaf tobacco processors and exporters. The ongoing conflict in West Asia, together with oversupply in international markets, further exacerbates the already challenging operating environment.
In response to the near-term impact on its stakeholders, the Business is redoubling its efforts to accelerate exports growth through focused new business development, scaling up direct supplies to global buyers through a combination of range augmentation and ESG & sustainability leadership, to provide superior value proposition to customers,
The operations at the state-of-the-art facility to manufacture and export Nicotine & Nicotine derivative products, set up by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ITC IndiVision Limited, stabilised during the year. Plans are on the anvil to rapidly scale up business in the ensuing year.
Other Agri Commodities
Amidst a challenging operating environment, the Business leveraged its strong farm linkages, extensive sourcing expertise (viz. enabling traceable, attribute-based and identity-preserved sourcing of commodities), multi-modal logistics capability, agile supply chain operations, deep customer relationships, and focus on scale up of the Value-Added Agri Products (VAAP) portfolio, to deliver a resilient performance.
The strategic focus of the Business continues to be on rapidly scaling up its Value-Added Agri Products (VAAP) portfolio straddling multiple agri-value chains including spices, coffee, frozen marine products and horticulture products, amongst others; 1.4x over the last two years. Leveraging institutional strengths such as certified sourcing, advanced processing capabilities, customer-centric execution and digital platforms including ITCMAARS, the portfolio further strengthened its competitive position, while simultaneously building new growth vectors in high-velocity channels such as Quick Commerce, and organised retail.
The Business further strengthened its position as one of India's leading spice exporters supported by geographic diversification, domestic market expansion, and a strong focus on value-added and premium segments. Organic spices remained a key growth driver, with volumes more than doubling during the year, supported by certified cultivation programmes and deep backward integration.
Global coffee markets witnessed sharp price swings during the year, largely driven by the United States, a major consuming market, which imposed a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil, the world's largest producer. The Business leveraged its strategic sourcing presence in major coffee-growing regions of India and sharper focus on certified, sustainably sourced coffees to reinforce its position as one of the leading coffee exporters. The Business further strengthened its footprint across key international markets, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, by capitalising on its long-standing customer relationships, strong sustainability credentials and agile execution.
The Business continued to leverage its wide sourcing network, robust crop development initiatives and digital tools towards securing high quality wheat of critical grades to support the growing requirements of the 'Aashirvaad' atta portfolio. Digitally enabled sourcing capabilities supported scale and speed, while crop development efforts were intensified to improve climate resilience, enhance yields and secure premium varieties, thereby reinforcing product quality and consumer experience. Direct sourcing from FPOs through ITCMAARS has now scaled up to about 40% of the wheat sourced for Aashirvaad Atta and Agri Business, leading to significant procurement related efficiencies and
quality enhancement. During the year, the farmer-driven milk procurement network in Bihar, West Bengal and Jharkhand was strengthened to support the growing requirements of the Fresh Dairy portfolio under the 'Aashirvaad Svasti' brand. The Business continues to scale up sourcing of spices to meet the growing requirements of Sunrise and Aashirvaad brands.
Towards enhancing the competitiveness of domestic agri-value chains, strengthening market linkages and further augmenting value creation opportunities, the Company has successfully scaled up ITCMAARS – a crop-agnostic full stack AgriTech platform, together with a 'phygital' ecosystem across 11 states. Over 2,100 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) encompassing appx. 2.3 million farmers have been added to the ITCMAARS network. By synergistically integrating NextGen agri technologies, this integrated ecosystem has the potential to unlock several evolving opportunities that can help reimagine the future of the agri sector and propel the Business to create new and scalable revenue streams, whilst also benefiting farmers.
PAPERBOARDS, PAPER & PACKAGING
The Indian Paper and Paperboard industry continued to operate in a challenging environment, characterised by cheap supplies, often below cash-cost levels, of paperboards and paper from China and Indonesia in global markets, including India, as well as weak demand conditions, resulting in subdued realisations. Wood prices remained elevated during the year, reflecting tight supply conditions. The cumulative impact of subdued realisations and sharp surge in wood costs, exerted pressure on margins. The Business partially mitigated these challenges by leveraging the structural strengths of its integrated model, accelerating value-led customer engagement, deepening digital-led productivity and quality interventions, and scaling up the portfolio of sustainable plastic-substitution solutions.
The imposition of a Minimum Import Price (MIP) on virgin multi-layer paperboard w.e.f. 22nd August 2025 provided partial relief to the industry, with declining import volumes supporting an uptick in net realisations in the latter half of the year. Additionally, wood prices showed signs of moderation in latter half of the year, aided by improved availability from sustained plantation and sourcing initiatives. Collectively, these factors led to a gradual recovery in operating performance during the second half of the year; Segment PBIT witnessed 21% YoY & 24% QoQ growth in Q4.
The Business sustained its leadership position in the Value-Added Paperboard (VAP) segment through focused innovations and development of customised solutions tailored for end-use industries. The Business also consolidated its leadership position in the eco-labelled products and premium recycled paperboards segments. Specialty Papers segment witnessed robust growth during the year driven by décor paper. Market standing in the segment continues to be driven by product mix enrichment and diversification of the customer base.
The Business continues to engage with policy makers to address key industry challenges including increasing wood availability through collaborative public-private plantation models to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic industry and address the rapid increase in low-priced imports of paper & paperboard into the country through sustained safeguard measures.
Packaging and Printing Business continues to serve leading customers across Food & Beverage, Personal Care, Home Care, Footwear, Consumer Electronics & Electricals, QSR, Pharma, Liquor, Tobacco and other end-use segments. Consistent performance on quality, reliability and competitiveness has strengthened its position as a preferred packaging partner to reputed FMCG companies.
The sustainable paperboards/packaging solutions portfolio witnessed strong growth during the year leveraging cutting-edge innovation platforms and has grown to appx. 2.3x over the last 4 years.
FRESH FOOD
As a new growth vector envisioned in the ITC Next strategy, the Fresh Food Business aims to harness the Company's expertise in Food Science & Manufacturing, FMCG Food brands, and Culinary expertise to capitalise on the burgeoning online food services segment.
During the year, the Business strengthened its presence across the cuisine segments and markets in which it operates, supported by improving consumer traction. With sustained focus on superior and consistent food quality & service standards, the Business expanded its operating footprint to appx. 70 cloud kitchens and is now being progressively introduced across India. GMV has witnessed rapid growth during the year, doubling to appx. Rs. 220 cr.
The delectable range of cuisines being offered under four brands - 'ITC Master Chef Creations', 'ITC Aashirvaad Soul Creations', 'ITC Sunfeast Baked Creations' & 'Sansho by ITC Master Chef' is constantly being expanded and is witnessing increasing consumer traction. The brands are currently present in select metro markets and are offered through leading online food delivery platforms, consistently receiving top ratings and excellent consumer feedback.

CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
In line with its superordinate goal of serving larger national priorities and creating value for all stakeholders, the Company's paradigm of 'Responsible Competitiveness' focuses on building extreme competitiveness in a manner that replenishes the environment and supports sustainable livelihoods.
ITC is a global exemplar in 'Triple Bottom Line' performance and is the only enterprise in the world of comparable dimensions to have achieved and sustained the three key global indices of environmental sustainability of being 'water positive' (for 24 years), 'carbon positive' (for 21 years), and 'solid waste recycling positive' (for 19 years). The Company sustained its 'AA' rating by MSCI-ESG for the 8th successive year and continued to feature in the Dow Jones Emerging Markets Index for the 6th year in a row - a reflection of being a sustainability leader in the industry and a recognition of its continued commitment to people and planet. Water stress, a critical fallout of climate change, is being systematically managed by the Company's integrated water stewardship approach to champion water security for all stakeholders and address the twin issues of increasing water availability on the supply side while promoting efficient water usage inside operating units as well as at the catchment level.
The Company is advancing sustainable water management at the catchment level through adoption of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard, a globally recognised framework. As of 31st March, 2026, 9 units are certified under AWS—all at Platinum level—positioning the Company as the second largest holder of AWS Platinum certifications globally.
