KRBL's Troubles Boost LT Foods' Growth in Rice Market
Imagine two rice companies, KRBL and LT Foods.
KRBL, known for India Gate rice, is having problems: directors are quitting, and they're trying to sell things like oils and spices.
This is causing issues.
Meanwhile, LT Foods, with brands like Daawat, is focusing on rice, making it healthier and easier to cook.
LT Foods is growing faster than KRBL because of this.

KRBL is expanding into edible oils, spices, and other products.
