During the year, we leveraged our integration capabilities with the fast-track integration of Capital Foods, further strengthening our F&B platforms. Additionally, we also completed the merger of Tata Coffee Ltd. Furthermore, in line with our simplification agenda, we announced the amalgamation of our wholly owned subsidiaries in India (viz. NourishCo Beverages, Tata SmartFoodz and Tata Consumer Soulfull) as well as the restructuring of some of our overseas wholly owned subsidiaries, effectively reducing the number of legal entities. All these initiatives will help us realise financial synergies over a period of time.
The Tata Coffee merger became effective on January 1, 2024 once all regulatory approvals were in place. The integration worked to simplify the organisational structure and strategically strengthen our position in the global B2B beverages market. Moving the solubles business of Tata Coffee under Tata Consumer presented opportunities to cross sell to customers of our coffee and tea extraction businesses and create a lean structure with operating efficiencies.

We have built and maximised synergies across the Foods portfolio, including the new acquisitions.
