D S Group to foray into F&B segment

Expecting a robust growth potential in the Indian food and beverages market, the home-grown business house, D S Group, owner of chewing tobacco and mouth freshener brands like Rajnigandha, Baba and Paas-Paas, is looking to expand its presence in the F&B segment.
The Rs. 1,200 crore group, already present in the F & B segment through its ‘Catch’ brand of salt, spices and mineral water, is planning to launch a number of new products under the same brand – which would mark a shift in the group’s core focus away from the tobacco and premium pan masala products. While the company is yet to finalise its investment plans for expansion in the F&B segment. It is aiming to focus on the spices segment, where its “Catch” brand has already established a strong foothold. “We are still working on finalizing the plans, but the focus is going to be on the spices in F&B segment,” DS Group MD, Mr.Rajeev Kumar, told reporters.
