KFC is expected to anchor future growth. As of the first half of FY26, the combined business operates 1,263 KFC outlets in India and plans to add 100-110 stores annually. Pizza Hut, by contrast, remained loss-making for both companies during the period. Pro-forma FY25 numbers for the merged entity show revenue of ₹7,800 crore and Ebitda margins of 16-17%, with management signalling medium-term margin expansion towards 18.5-19%.
