witnessed a healthy double-digit volume growth in both Indian and International
markets. Our consolidated sales volume increased by 13.9%, and the net

to our remarkable revenue growth of 21.8% and an impressive PAT growth of
35.6%. In line with our strategic objectives, we have successfully commissioned
multiple greenfield and brownfield facilities across key geographies during the
year. This expansion not only strengthened our manufacturing capabilities but
also extended our market reach. Our distribution network and chilling
infrastructure have also seen a substantial growth, further solidifying our
presence in the market. Marking a key milestone in our growth journey, we are
delighted to announce the acquisition of The Beverage Company (BevCo) subject
to regulatory and other approvals. BevCo holds franchise rights for PepsiCo
beverage products in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini, along with distribution
rights in Namibia and Botswana. This acquisition, which aligns perfectly with
our strategic goals, offers an excellent opportunity to significantly enhance
our presence in the African market—a region known for high demand for soft
drinks and favorable demographics. The integration of BevCo into VBL`s
operations is expected to yield substantial synergistic benefits in the future.
As we move forward, our strategy is geared towards sustaining our healthy
growth momentum. We will continue to focus on strengthening our market
position, both in India and internationally, and place emphasis on product
categories that are aligned with evolving consumer preferences. Our journey
through CY2023 has set a solid foundation for continued success, and we remain
confident in our ability to deliver sustainable growth and value for all our
stakeholders in the years to come.”
