Britannia Industries is eyeing its cheese products business to grow around five-fold in the next five years to touch around Rs 1,250 crore. The company which earlier this week announced a joint venture with the French cheese maker Bel, currently has around Rs 250 crore turnover from its cheese business.

It is hoping commodity prices will come under control going forward with the softening of palm oil prices while that of sugar are stable although wheat prices are on the rise. The company is foreseeing consumption growth in cheese segment coming from the domestic consumer and has plans to invest Rs 160 crore in the next three years.

Britannia Industries is one of the India’s biggest brands of the country. More-than-a-century old Britannia has launched big brands in FMCG segment.
