Tata Consumer acquisitions report double-digit revenue growth in FY'25
Capital Food and
Organic India
brands, which were acquired by Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL) a year ago, have reported a
double-digit revenue growth
in FY2024-25, according to the latest annual report of the company. "Both the brands "achieved combined sales of Rs 1,173 crore, with
Capital Foods
revenue at Rs 799 crore and Organic India revenue at Rs 374 crore," the Tata group's FMCG arm said in its report.
Both delivered strong gross margins, supported by synergies that also drove EBITDA margin expansion year-on-year, it added.
TCPL in January 2024 acquired Capital Foods, which owns popular
Ching's Secret
brand, and Fab India-backed Organic India for a combined enterprise value of Rs 7,000 crore.
Capital Foods reported a profit of Rs 119 crore, while Organic India had a loss of Rs 1.93 crore for the financial year which ended on March 31, 2025.
Capital Food's revenue for the financial year ended March 31, 2023, was Rs 705.5 crore and Organic India's revenue was Rs 324.4 crore.
TCPL said the recent acquisition of Capital Foods and Organic India has further boosted its product portfolio.
It has integrated logistics and warehousing for Capital Foods and Organic India to streamline operations and reduce costs.
"With the integration complete and businesses stabilised during the year, we were able to capitalise on the synergy benefits and scale the businesses," it said.
Capital Foods continues to build growth momentum with targeted innovation, market innovation, expansion into white spaces and strategic brand collaboration.
Its operating margin witnessed growth despite higher investment behind brands including collaboration with PepsiCo India's Kurkure to create a breakthrough limited edition snack that combined its signature Schezwan flavours with Kurkure's iconic texture, this was combined with a high energy media and other marketing campaigns.
While for Organic India, TCPL is exploring alternate channels also.
"With growing consumer demand for organic products, Organic India can leverage this opportunity, through wellness portfolio expansion and strengthening the brand equity and consumer connect. We are strategically building future ready channels like Pharma and Food Services to drive long term growth," it said.

For the first time, Nashik civic body to start stray cat sterilisation & vaccination
Nashik: The civic body has launched a programme to sterilise stray cats in the city for the first time. The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) administration invited tenders from agencies and contractors registered with the Animal Welfare Board of India to catch, sterilise, and vaccinate stray cats against rabies. Currently, the civic body captures stray dogs and sterilises them through private agencies, with approximately 800 stray dogs sterilised each month. Over the past nine years, around 80,000 dogs were sterilised by the NMC administration through appointed agencies. The teams respond to complaints about stray dogs, excluding those already sterilised. After the procedure, the dogs were returned to their original locations. Last month, the NMC general body approved the civic administration's proposal for the sterilisation and vaccination of stray cats. This action aligns with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Animal Birth Control (dogs) Rules, 2022, which mandate control of the stray cat population. State govt had previously issued relevant guidelines through a circular. NMC officials said they have floated the bid for the sterilisation of stray cats and their vaccinations against rabies. The last date for bid submission is July 29. The appointed agency for cat sterilisation will be required to establish necessary facilities, including an operation theatre, a dedicated cat ward, and essential utilities such as water and electricity. The initial contract period is set for one year, with an estimated cost of Rs 20 lakh, funded under the stray animal sterilisation budget. NMC has allocated Rs 3.5 crore in its budget for the financial year 2025-26.

Sessions court denies bail to Ketan Kadam in Mithi River desilting contract scam, says he is 'key accused'
Mumbai: The sessions court in the city denied bail to Ketan Kadam, an alleged middleman involved in the Rs 65 crore Mithi River desilting contract scam. The court observed that, prima facie, he played a crucial role in the conspiracy, causing wrongful loss to the civic body. On July 11, Additional Sessions Judge N G Shukla rejected Kadam's bail plea, and on Tuesday, in the reasoned order, observed that the probe was still ongoing. "After considering the material placed on record, it appears that the role of the applicant is crucial in setting the terms and conditions of the contract for desilting work since prior to the entering of Virgo in the MOU for the purchase of machines and entering into an agreement for hire with the contractors," the order said. The prosecutor opposing his bail stated that the BMC had given contracts for desilting the Mithi River at different sites in Mumbai to various companies by inviting tenders from 2019 to 2024. The prosecution's case was that Kadam, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Virgo Specialties Pvt Ltd, allegedly conspired with BMC officials and contractors to meddle with tender conditions, forcing contractors to hire machines from his firm.

The court observed that statements from several witnesses, including high-ranking BMC officers, are yet to be recorded in the case. The court perused the material on record and observed that "the applicant (Kadam) personally gained various amounts from the contractors in the bank account of his shell company… This material prima facie shows that the applicant is the key accused in the conspiracy of causing wrongful loss to BMC." The case, being investigated by EOW, is against 13 persons.

Short of funds, VNSGU leases out ground without tender
Surat: Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) has leased out its 14.72-acre ground for Rs 62.50 lakh to a private entertainment group to organize garbas for ten days this Navratri. The university said it made this decision owing to a shortfall of funds and aimed to generate revenue from its properties. VNSGU implemented a policy that permits leasing the ground for garbas without tenders. VNSGU vice-chancellor Dr Kishorsinh Chavda told TOI, "We have 600 non-teaching and 120 contracted teaching and temporary staff whom we pay from our own funds. As govt does not pay their salaries, we must look for alternative revenue. We cannot raise fees to meet these expenses. The price of labour has also doubled, and we now pay labourers Rs 500 a day. Water, electricity, security and housekeeping expenses have also increased manyfold. We thought about leasing our properties. We framed a standard operating procedure based on which we gave the contract to the first person who came forward. We may go for tenders to lease out the ground from next year." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

"We will ensure that our students in hostels are not disturbed through such events," said Chavda.
