close to 5 per cent of revenue and Britannia dairy products directly reach 100,000

product width and length of Britannia.

Competitive pricing is the sole pricing strategy which Britannia uses. Parle is one of
the major competitors of Britannia and in that, Parle G has remained unbeatable for
decades. In dairy, Amul is a strong competitor for Milk, Cheese and other dairy based
products. In bakery products, we will find local competition as well as Monginis and
other veg cake makers who have their own line of products. To stay above all of
them, Britannia adopts a competitive pricing strategy. Thus, Britannia products are
much better in quality and are good in price as well. The pricing strategy along with
distribution has been so strong, that people buy these products even on Railway
stations and while traveling , instead of buying local snacks.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

Our strategic expansion plan is based on the principle of ‘One new market a year’. We
plan to expand through local operations in Africa and South East Asia in the coming
years.
