Where the Wadia Group competes

Most of the group's value sits in Britannia, so its main contest is in packaged foods, especially biscuits 8. Bombay Dyeing competes in polyester and home textiles, and Bombay Burmah in auto components and tea.

Biscuits

CRISIL says Britannia holds more than a third of India's biscuit market by value 9. A PTI report in January 2026 compared FY25 revenue among the main players:

Company FY25 revenue Notes
Britannia Industries ₹17,943 crore Market leader 18
Parle Products ₹15,568 crore Up 8.5% 18
Mondelez India ₹12,503 crore Includes chocolates 18
ITC n/a Dark Fantasy, Marie Light 18
Anmol, Surya Foods (Priya Gold) n/a Regional players 18

The revenue figures are company-wide and not all from biscuits, so they are only a rough guide to market position.

Home textiles

Market research firm Mordor Intelligence lists Welspun, Trident, Indo Count, GHCL Home Textiles and Bombay Dyeing among the leading Indian bed and bath companies, without ranking them 26. Bombay Dyeing now reports polyester and real estate as its two segments 23.

Strengths and risks

CRISIL rates Britannia AAA with a stable outlook 9. For Bombay Burmah, CRISIL notes that debt outside Britannia fell to ₹312 crore in March 2025 from more than ₹3,920 crore two years earlier 8. Bombay Burmah's own businesses are small next to Britannia, and auto electricals alone made up 63% of its FY25 standalone revenue 8.
