Indian QSR chains recovered after three weak quarters as value meals, higher traffic, tier-2/3 demand and dine-in growth lifted sales. Burger King, McDonald's and Devyani reported stronger revenue and expansion momentum, though operators flagged geopolitical volatility.

Why this matters

The sales recovery follows Devyani International's nearly fourfold Q1 net profit rise and Q1 margin expansion, adding evidence that higher traffic and value-led demand are supporting its profitability and merger-synergy case.

Footfall is steady, with 584 retail signals recorded over the past 90 days.
