Geographic expansion and capacity addition for the business is on track. Tata Water Plus and Tata Gluco Plus both delivered exceptional growth. Tata Fruski- an innovative drink, inspired by local street culture, was launched in Hyderabad and Vizag with the strong initial response.<br></p><p>The company stated, “For the quarter, revenue from operations grew by 26 per cent (24 per cent in constant currency) as compared to corresponding quarter of the previous year, mainly driven by strong volume and value growth in the India Food & Beverage business.”</p><p>Tata Consumer Products reported a consolidated income of Rs 3,080.18 crore in Q4 FY 2021, a rise of 26.91 per cent from Rs 2,426.96 crore in Q4 FY 2020.
