Tata Starbucks is steadily balancing the books in India’s booming branded coffee shop market, but a strategic slowdown on outlet growth could give ambitious competitors space to close in

Tata Consumer Products’ full-year results tell a story of measured but meaningful progress for India’s largest branded coffee chain.

Tata Starbucks achieved 7% year-on-year revenue growth for the 12 months ended 31 March 2026, with total revenues reaching Rs 1,367 Cr ($163m).

Fourth quarter sales were also up 7% year-on-year, with the coffee chain recording a third consecutive quarter of positive like-for-like sales growth.
