Shares of Tata Consumer Products, which operates Tata Starbucks in India through a joint venture, rose 1.01% to ₹1,125 on Monday after the coffee chain announced a price increase of 5% to 10% across its menu. This decision comes in response to ongoing pressure from rising input costs, including higher global coffee bean prices, increased packaging expenses, elevated rentals, and higher staff costs, particularly in urban markets. The price hike is expected to help mitigate the impact of these costs on profitability. In its latest financial report, Tata Consumer Products revealed a significant 37.91% increase in consolidated net profit, reaching ₹384.61 crore, alongside a 15.04% rise in revenue from operations to ₹5,112 crore for Q3 FY26 compared to the same quarter last year.
