ITC is targeting India’s expanding FMCG opportunity through AI-led consumer segmentation, omnichannel and quick-commerce distribution, premium-category acquisitions, and health-focused innovation. At its AGM, it highlighted revenue growth, acquired-brand ARR and plans to scale power brands under its ITC Next strategy.

Why this matters

The plan extends ITC’s recent signal targeting an ₹8 lakh crore FMCG opportunity by 2035 and its AI- and premiumisation-led growth push, following a resurfaced 2022 comparison with Future Retail’s decline.
