New Delhi, December 10, 2025 – Rungta Tea, one of India’s leading regional tea brands, marks 24 years of operations with an exceptional milestone: a 92% distributor retention rate, a rarity in India’s competitive FMCG landscape. Since establishing its Delhi headquarters in 2004–05, the company has continued to partner with the same distributor network it began with—spanning North and East India.
“Quality, commitment, and relationships—these three principles have guided every decision for 24 years,” said Girjesh Rungta, Founder and Managing Director of Rungta Tea. “We treat our distributors like family, not just channels. Having sat in a distributor’s chair myself, I understand their challenges even before they articulate them.”
With an eye on rapid growth, Rungta Tea is preparing to accelerate expansion over the next two years, targeting growth levels that mirror its entire 24-year journey. According to Mr. Rungta, the company’s robust infrastructure will drive this next phase.
“The work we accomplished in 24 years will be replicated in the next two,” he said. “Our infrastructure is built for companies five times our size. We’re not building for today—we’re preparing for the next decade.”
Rungta Tea operates a manufacturing facility in Siliguri, where the family closely oversees quality control. The company reports tasting nearly 2,000 tea samples to select just 15–20 blends for its premium product lines.
Best known through its flagship Real Gold brand, Rungta Tea has expanded far beyond its Bihar roots to serve consumers across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Delhi NCR. Rajasthan, in particular, has demonstrated strong demand for the brand’s premium offerings.
“The business model is built on transparency and zero-cash transactions,” Mr. Rungta noted. “When distributors trust your practices, retention naturally follows.”
