ICICI Securities Report

While there are no price hikes by Tata Consumer Products Ltd. in Q1 FY23, there are no extra schemes / promotions too.

With higher inflationary pressures for consumers and limited push by distributors due to higher cost of doing business (interest cost and freight cost), the volume off-take is likely muted - that's the insight from our conversations with Tata Consumer Products' distributors in Uttar Pradesh. They told us,

  1. there is ~1% scheme on salt now. It is likely to smoothen steep price hikes and support salt volumes after some impact in Q4 FY22;

  2. demand for tea increases in monsoon season. Monsoon appears delayed this year;

  3. with higher interest costs and no extra trade schemes, the trade intends to maintain low inventory;

  4. higher freight cost (a significant cost component for distributors (~40%)) continues to hurt distributor profitability; and

  5. Tata Soulfull is now rolled out in Uttar Pradesh, Rs 10 stock-keeping unit is the outperformer.
