ITC's Q2 profit rises 2.6% YoY to ₹5,187 crore
ITC just posted a net profit of ₹5,187 crore for Q2 FY26—a 2.6% bump from last year—even though overall revenue dipped a bit to ₹21,256 crore.
The main reason? Their FMCG (think: snacks, personal care, and other daily-use products) business kept growing strong.
FMCG segment continues to grow
While some parts of the business struggled—especially agri—the FMCG segment actually grew 7%, hitting ₹15,473 crore in revenue.
That's impressive given heavy rains and GST changes made things tricky.
Even their paperboards and packaging arm managed small gains.
ITC is diversifying its business
ITC isn't just sticking to one thing—they're doubling down on different sectors and bringing in fresh leadership like Amitabh Kant as a proposed independent director.
This strategy reflects their aim to stay flexible and continue growing even when the market gets tough.
