Capital Foods strengthens food expansion
The September transaction added the final 5 percent of Capital Foods to Tata Consumer's existing 75 percent holding, completing a three-year acquisition plan.

Tata Consumer's investor page describes a portfolio spanning beverages, foods and out-of-home retail, including tea, coffee, salt, spices, cereals, snacks and ready-to-cook products. The company reported quarterly revenue of INR 53.49 billion and net income of INR 4.27 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
