Tata Starbucks Ltd, the coffee chain operator, claimed a 76% increase in revenue to 636 crores for 2021-2022, and a "much" lower net loss, owing to the normalization of operations following the lifting of COVID-related limitations.

"Revenue from operations increased by 76% to 636 crores, and net loss decreased dramatically," TCPL said in a statement about the JV's performance.

"As COVID restrictions loosened throughout the year, strong sequential sales recovery was achieved, with the addition of 50 new stores in eight new cities. The new stores are a mix of landmark store openings, such as the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Jio World Drive in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, and Brahmaputra Riverfront in Guwahati, as well as smaller footprint stores, such as the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Jio World Drive in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, and Brahmaputra Riverfront in Guwahati "It was stated.
