Though the first six decades of the Company’s existence were primarily devoted to the growth and
consolidation of the Cigarettes and Leaf Tobacco businesses, ITC’s Packaging & Printing Business was set up in
1925 as a strategic backward integration for ITC’s Cigarettes business. It is today India’s most sophisticated
packaging house.
The Seventies witnessed the beginnings of a corporate transformation that would usher in momentous changes
in the life of the Company. In 1975, the Company launched its Hotels business with the acquisition of a hotel in
Chennai which was rechristened ‘ITC-Welcomgroup Hotel Chola’ (now renamed My Fortune, Chennai). The
objective of ITC’s entry into the hotels business was rooted in the concept of creating value for the nation. ITC
chose the Hotels business for its potential to earn high levels of foreign exchange, create tourism infrastructure
and generate large scale direct and indirect employment.
1979: Paperboards & Specialty Papers – Development of a Backward Area
In 1979, ITC entered the Paperboards business by promoting ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards Limited.
Bhadrachalam Paperboards amalgamated with the Company effective March 13, 2002 and became a Division
of the Company, Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division.
ITC’s foray into the Foods business is an outstanding example of successfully blending multiple internal
competencies to create a new driver of business growth. It began in August 2001 with the introduction of
‘Kitchens of India’ ready-to-eat Indian gourmet dishes. In 2002, ITC entered the confectionery and staples
segments with the launch of the brands mint-o and Candyman confectionery and Aashirvaad Atta (wheat
flour).
ITC launched line of premium range of notebooks under brand Paperkraft in 2002. To augment its offering and
to reach a wider student population, the Classmate range of notebooks was launched in 2003. Classmate over
the years has grown to become India’s largest notebook brand and has also increased its portfolio to occupy a
greater share of the school bag.

crore.
Operating Income is 2.7 Billion US Dollars in 2019.

Portfolio of Companies: under its name, ITC has 6 large and diverse businesses that boost its total revenue and allow ITC
to innovate and pursue other business opportunities.
• Powerful brand: ITC is a large brand house with most of its products leading the segments in which it works.
Weakness:
Tobacco Products Association has an impact on the brand: ITC has made a great deal of effort to enhance its corporate
image, but the fact that ITC has many tobacco products in its portfolio has an impact on its corporate image. The increase
in the Tobacco Tax has an effect on revenue: due to the rise in the tax on tobacco products, rates and, subsequently, profits
are affected.
ITC is still dependent on its tobacco sales, and people have cheaper alternatives and other brands.
• The hotel industry has not been able to build an enormous market share.
Opportunities:
Growth in purchasing power and changing lifestyles: ITC can tap into rising buying power and changing customers’
lifestyles in India. It will help to raise sales for all of its companies.
Growing Personal Hygiene as well as Food Processing Industry in India: ITC should use its distribution channel in the
Personal Hygiene and Food Processing Industry to capitalize on the growth of categories and thus increase revenue.
Tap opportunities created in the rural sector: the rising rural sector in India and other developing nations are generating
enormous opportunities to boost the company’s bottom line.
Mergers and acquisitions are planned to reinforce the brand.
• Increased people’s buying power, thus rising competition. More exposure to hotel chains to increase market share.
Threats:
Intensifying rivalry in FMCG companies: ITC is facing intense competition in its FMCG market from major MNCs such as
HUL and P&G and Indian FMCGs such as Patanjali and Dabur. It limits the market share of the ITC.
Regulations and Increased Taxation in Cigarette Business: The Tobacco and Cigarette Industry in India continues to be
regulated by strict government regulations and the tax system. This poses a threat to the highly profitable ITC Cigarette
company.
• Increasing health awareness: there has been an increase in health awareness, which has resulted in a decrease in the
demand for tobacco products in India. Anti-smoking programs throughout the country also have an effect on cigarette
sales.
• FDI in the retail sector, thereby allowing for international brands.
