In response to different taste preferences, local flavor variants are being introduced by manufacturers. Healthier variants such as a whole wheat crust, vegan cheese and low calorie toppings are also becoming popular with Indian consumers. Seasonal menus, limited-time promotions, and fusion toppings have also become increasingly important in differentiating brands as the industry continues to adapt to changing consumer tastes and preferences.
