Jubilant FoodWorks has announced that it will not renew its franchise agreement with Dunkin' in India after the current term ends in 2026, signaling a notable shift in its brand portfolio.
In a stock exchange filing on Monday, the company stated that it is evaluating options including operational rationalisation or a potential sale and transfer of franchise rights, in consultation with Dunkin’s parent company, Dunkin' Brands.
Dunkin' has struggled to build meaningful traction in the Indian market since its entry in 2012, when it first launched operations in New Delhi. The brand’s limited scale and persistent losses have continued to weigh on its long-term prospects under Jubilant FoodWorks’ management.
As of December 2025, Jubilant operated 27 Dunkin’ outlets across India, after closing seven stores over the past year. The business contributed just 0.61% to the company’s FY2025 revenue and reported a loss of approximately ₹191 million, according to company disclosures.
Jubilant FoodWorks, best known as the master franchisee for Domino's Pizza in India, has been sharpening its focus on its core pizza business while also scaling newer ventures such as Popeyes.
The company noted that its decision to exit the Dunkin' franchise is unlikely to have any material impact on its overall financial or operational performance.
In a separate update, Jubilant reported a robust financial showing for the October–December quarter, with profit rising 65% year-on-year to ₹709 million, up from ₹429.1 million in the corresponding period last year.
