This plan of expansion of its business in the Tata Group has been prepared at a time when the Russian-Ukraine war is causing inflation, the government has to stop the export of cereals like wheat and due to the disruption of the supply chain. Due to this the input prices of consumer goods companies have increased. Unilever’s Indian units, Britannia Industries and Dabur India have also taken steps such as raising prices, or selling even the cheapest packet sizes, to keep their business alive in a country with a population of about 140 crore. While Tata has kept the prices of its three main selling products in the region relatively stable, copi, tea and salt, the company is also under pressure from rising costs on transport and packaging.

D’Souza has said that the political and economic crisis in Sri Lanka, which is a major exporter of black tea, has stabilized its prices. India is also expected to have a good harvest this year, due to which tea prices are likely to remain generally low. But, all are forced to bear the brunt of the prices of wheat, sunflower oil, palm oil.
