ITC disclosed the transaction on Monday, September 28, 2026. The deal marks a further expansion of ITC’s presence in the consumer products business through its ownership of the Yoga Bar brand.

ITC Acquires 52.5% Stake in Sproutlife Foods
The central part of the transaction is ITC’s acquisition of the remaining stake in Sproutlife Foods.
ITC had already owned 47.5% of the company. The acquisition of another 52.5% completes its ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
The ₹645 crore transaction therefore represents the purchase of the portion of the company that ITC did not previously own.
Following the acquisition, ITC will hold the entire equity stake in Sproutlife Foods.
The transaction also means that future ownership of the Yoga Bar business will sit entirely with ITC through its ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
Yoga Bar Maker Sproutlife Foods Becomes Fully Owned by ITC
Sproutlife Foods is the company behind Yoga Bar, the consumer brand involved in the transaction.
With the latest acquisition, ITC has moved from holding a minority stake to having complete ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
The change is significant from an ownership perspective because ITC will now hold the entire stake in the company rather than sharing ownership with other shareholders.
The acquisition gives ITC full ownership of the business through the purchase of the remaining 52.5% stake.
The ₹645 Crore Transaction Completes ITC’s Ownership
The value of the transaction is around ₹645 crore.
ITC’s acquisition can be viewed in two stages from an ownership perspective.
Existing 47.5% Ownership
Before the latest transaction, ITC already held 47.5% of Sproutlife Foods.
Acquisition of Remaining 52.5%
ITC then agreed to acquire the remaining 52.5% stake for approximately ₹645 crore.
Ownership Reaches 100%
After acquiring the remaining stake, ITC’s total ownership in Sproutlife Foods reaches 100%.
This completes ITC’s acquisition of the company behind Yoga Bar.
What the Deal Means for Yoga Bar
The transaction places Yoga Bar entirely under ITC’s ownership through Sproutlife Foods.
The acquisition does not represent the purchase of only a particular product or business division. ITC is acquiring the remaining ownership stake in the company that operates the Yoga Bar business.
With the transaction, ITC will have complete ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
This provides a clear change in the ownership structure of the Yoga Bar maker, with ITC moving from a 47.5% shareholder to the sole owner.
ITC Strengthens Its Ownership in the Consumer Business
The Sproutlife Foods transaction adds another development to ITC’s consumer business activities.
The company already operates across multiple business areas, while the acquisition gives it complete ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
For the Yoga Bar business, the transaction means that ITC will now have full ownership rather than a partial holding.
The ₹645 crore purchase therefore represents the final acquisition of the remaining stake in Sproutlife Foods.
Why the Remaining Stake Matters
The purchase of the remaining 52.5% stake is important because it completes ITC’s ownership of Sproutlife Foods.
Holding 47.5% previously meant ITC did not own the entire company. The latest transaction changes that position.
After the purchase:
- ITC owns 100% of Sproutlife Foods.
- The remaining 52.5% stake has been acquired.
- The transaction value is around ₹645 crore.
- Yoga Bar’s parent company is now fully owned by ITC.
The ownership transition is therefore straightforward: ITC’s existing 47.5% holding has been supplemented by the acquisition of the remaining 52.5%.
ITC’s Yoga Bar Deal in Numbers
The transaction can be summarised through four key numbers.
47.5% — ITC’s ownership in Sproutlife Foods before the latest transaction.
52.5% — The remaining stake acquired by ITC.
100% — ITC’s ownership after completing the acquisition.
₹645 crore — Approximate value of the remaining stake purchase.
Together, these figures explain the structure and scale of the transaction announced by ITC.
ITC Takes Full Ownership of Yoga Bar Maker Sproutlife Foods

The deal represents the completion of ITC’s purchase of the remaining ownership in the Yoga Bar maker and marks a change from partial ownership to full control of Sproutlife Foods.
