LT Foods Ltd, a leading global FMCG player in the consumer food segment, has unveiled a limited-edition offering ‘Daawat Saffron Basmati’ rice under its flagship brand Daawat, targeted at consumers seeking a premium and differentiated culinary experience.
A First-of-Its-Kind Premium Innovation
The newly launched product is positioned as a first-of-its-kind innovation in the basmati rice category, infused with premium saffron sourced exclusively from Jammu and Kashmir. With this launch, the company aims to further strengthen its premiumisation strategy while reinforcing its focus on delivering high-quality, value-added offerings.
The basmati rice is cultivated on farms nourished by the Chenab River, where traditional, pesticide-free farming methods are followed. Each grain is carefully hand-selected to retain the natural aroma, authenticity, and purity associated with heritage basmati cultivation.
Luxury Packaging And Exclusive Access
Positioned as a collectible culinary product, the limited-edition pack has been designed to deliver a luxury experience. It includes vacuum-sealed saffron-infused basmati rice, a handcrafted jute storage bag, a personalised note from the farmer with a certified pack number, and curated cooking instructions.
The product will be available exclusively through an expression-of-interest model on the company’s website, enhancing its exclusivity and appeal among connoisseurs.

LT Foods Ltd, CEO, India Business & Far East, Ritesh Arora, said, “The introduction of Daawat Saffron Basmati rice is a strategic step in strengthening our premium portfolio and enhancing value creation across the premium basmati ecosystem. As custodians of a legacy built over seven decades, we continue to invest in innovations that strengthen the premium end of the portfolio while deepening the value we create for consumers and stakeholders.”
Premiumisation Play In Focus
The launch reflects LT Foods’ ongoing strategy to drive growth through premiumisation and product innovation. By combining heritage farming practices with modern product design and exclusivity, the company is targeting a niche segment of discerning consumers while enhancing brand equity in the global basmati market.
