India: Britannia, India’s biggest biscuit market going to enter the salty snacks market which is dominated by Haldiram’s and PepsiCo.

Britannia Industries will compete mainly against PepsiCo and ITC that operate largely in the western snacking segment such as potato chips, riblon, and gathia, with brands such as Kurkure and Bingo’s Tedhe Medhe, and extruded, which includes cheese balls.
