ITC Q1 Results

The rally came after the company reported a 27.64 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to Rs 29,523.3 crore in the first quarter of FY27, compared with Rs 23,129.35 crore a year earlier. Revenue from the sale of products rose 27.82 per cent to Rs 29,409.82 crore.
