Key Points

Business Overview:[1][2]
BTFL exited its loss-making textile business in FY22 and sold its real estate asset in May 2023. The company now focuses on tea production, operating three tea estates—Ananda, Pathalipam, and Bordeobam—spread across 626 hectares in Upper Assam. It processes green tea leaves at its Ananda Tea Estate plant and produces black tea (CTC and orthodox), including tea sourced from small growers. Additionally, BTFL has started selling black tea through auction players to minimize reliance on large customers, though its overall scale of operations remains moderate.
