FMCG-Cigarette business (41% of revenue): Revenue grew 6.8% YoY and PBIT rose 4.3% YoY, led by strong growth in premium/differentiated variants and tighter last-mile execution helped gain market share.

FMCG- Others (26% of revenue): Delivered 8% YoY growth with segment EBITDA margin up 50 bps QoQ, aided by QoQ commodity stabilisation (still elevated YoY).
