Indian cigarette stocks rose after a December drop, fueled by strong earnings and optimism despite a new 15%–30% tax hike.
Indian cigarette stocks surged on February 6, 2026, with ITC and Godfrey Phillips rising 5% and over 10% respectively, following a rebound after a December decline triggered by a new excise duty hike.
The tax increase, effective February 1, raised prices by 15% to 30% for many packs, including a 25% jump for Godfrey Phillips’ 97mm pack.
Despite concerns over margins and demand, strong Q3 results from ITC and Godfrey Phillips—driven by FMCG and cigarette sales—boosted investor confidence.
Analysts cited a technical correction and optimism over future performance, with ITC’s non-cigarette businesses seen as key growth drivers.
