Nov 13 (Reuters) - Domino's India operator

posted a quarterly profit that almost tripled from a year

earlier on Thursday, as demand for its affordable pizzas and

combo deals stayed strong, bucking the broader slowdown in the

quick-service food industry.

The company has stood out as a rare outperformer in an

environment where fast-food chains have struggled for over a

year to attract consumers amid fierce competition from local

rivals and only a tentative recovery in urban spending.

The company has held menu prices for most items steady for

roughly three years, and has cut costs and drove volume through

value meals, app-based delivery fee waivers and faster 20-minute

delivery promise in key cities.

Jubilant Foodworks reported a profit of 1.86 billion rupees

($21.16 million) for the quarter ended September 30, compared to

a profit a year ago of 640.5 million rupees.

Revenue from operations rose nearly 20% to 23.4 billion

rupees.
