The media reports had mentioned that Tata Group's consumer unit is in talks to buy at least 51 per cent of popular Indian snack food maker Haldiram's but is not comfortable with the $10 billion valuation sought.

Tata Consumer Products, which owns the UK tea company Tetley and has a partnership with Starbucks in India, is negotiating the stake purchase, the reports said.
Haldiram’s has almost 13 per cent share of India's $6.2 billion savoury snack market, according to Euromonitor International. Pepsi, famous for its Lay's chips, also has around 13 per cent.
