Restaurant India News: Jubilant FoodWorks to Exit Dunkin’ India Franchise by End of 2026

Jubilant FoodWorks has announced it will not renew its franchise agreement with Dunkin' in India once the current term expires at the end of 2026, marking a significant shift in its brand portfolio.

In an exchange filing on Monday, the company said it will explore options such as operational rationalisation or a potential sale and transfer of franchise rights, in consultation with Dunkin’s parent company, Dunkin' Brands.

Dunkin’ has struggled to gain strong traction in the Indian market since its entry in 2012, when it first launched operations in New Delhi. The brand’s limited scale and continued losses have weighed on its long-term prospects under Jubilant’s management.

As of December 2025, Jubilant operated 27 Dunkin’ outlets across India, having shut seven stores over the past year. The business contributed just 0.61% to the company’s revenue in FY2025 and reported a loss of around ₹191 million, according to company disclosures.

Jubilant FoodWorks—best known as the master franchisee for Domino's Pizza in India—has increasingly focused on strengthening its core pizza business while expanding newer ventures such as Popeyes.

The company emphasized that its decision to exit the Dunkin’ franchise is not expected to have any material impact on its overall financial or operational performance.

In a separate update, Jubilant reported a strong financial performance for the October–December quarter, with profit rising 65% year-on-year to ₹709 million, compared to ₹429.1 million in the same period last year.
