Indian tobacco-to-hotels conglomerate ITC reported quarterly profit below market expectations on Thursday, as large consumer brands face increasing pressure from consumers shunning them for cheaper alternatives.

The Sunfeast biscuits maker posted a profit of 49.17 billion rupees ($587.4 million) for the first quarter ended June 30, from 49.02 billion rupees a year earlier.

Analysts, on average, had projected 51.62 billion rupees, according to data from LSEG.
