As part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the government plans to promote Indian alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages globally. The goal is to reach $1 billion in export revenue over the next few years, driven by the growing international demand for Indian spirits.

QSR industry sees continued pressure on dine-in channel as delivery platforms gain ground

The quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector is facing a slowdown due to weakened consumer demand and a tough macroeconomic climate. A BNP Paribas India report reveals that listed QSR companies have recorded aggregate sales growth of 7-9% in recent quarters, a drop from the 14% CAGR achieved during FY19-24. Dine-in growth has also been limited, as food delivery platforms continue to gain popularity.

The report highlighted that while QSR chains quickly expanded their store count following a robust post-pandemic recovery, revenue growth has not kept pace with this expansion.

Quick commerce is on track to revolutionise the Indian retail market, with forecasts suggesting a gross order value of USD 10 billion by FY26, according to a CLSA report.

Driven by ultra-fast delivery and optimised last-mile operations, this sector is quickly reshaping India’s traditional food and grocery market. Currently, local small vendors dominate this USD 600 billion market, accounting for more than 95 percent of its share.
