According to the management, Patanjali Foods posted revenue of ₹11,156 crore for the quarter, up 17% year-on-year. The FMCG and edible oil major reported net profit that rose 46% to ₹524 crore, while EBITDA stood at ₹445 crore. As reported by Zee Business, the company's adjusted profit remained largely flat at ₹355 crore. Founder and promoter Baba Ramdev said the company delivered strong performance despite global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and commodity market volatility. Latest market reports indicate that Patanjali Foods is among several companies in focus today, with markets experiencing significant volatility on Friday due to heavy institutional selling.
Ramdev announced that Patanjali Foods is targeting around 25% growth going forward, even as the broader FMCG sector is growing at a much slower pace. According to the interaction with Zee Business, the company is targeting significant growth over the next three to five years and aims to become a ₹1 lakh crore company. The company operates across edible oils, food products, FMCG, and wind power generation, with brands including Patanjali, Ruchi Gold, and Nutrela. Latest market developments show that Patanjali Foods is among the companies experiencing significant volatility, with indices falling in the final hour due to heavy institutional selling.
A key pillar of Patanjali Foods' long-term strategy is reducing dependence on imported edible oils through large-scale palm plantation projects. As reported by Zee Business, Ramdev said the company has expanded its palm plantation programme to more than 1.25 lakh hectares and is working towards a target of nearly 5 lakh hectares over the coming years. He said the company expects to achieve a substantial portion of this target within three years and aims to become self-reliant in edible oil sourcing, reducing dependence on imports from countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
The company expects the palm plantation business to become a major profitability driver, with traditional edible oil operations typically generating EBITDA margins of around 3-5%, while palm plantation activities can deliver margins of 18-20%. According to Ramdev, the initiative could contribute an additional ₹2,000 crore to ₹2,500 crore in EBITDA over time, while also benefiting farmers through higher productivity and government-supported plantation programmes. The initiative could also help strengthen India's foreign exchange position by lowering edible oil imports.
According to Ramdev, Patanjali Foods is accelerating its international expansion strategy with products now present in around 70 countries, targeting expansion to 150 countries. The company is strengthening partnerships with global retail chains, online platforms, and distribution networks to increase its international reach. Management reiterated its focus on expanding the FMCG portfolio across categories such as personal care, home care, food products, ghee, and edible oils, while continuing to invest in capacity expansion and distribution growth. As reported by Zee Business, Ramdev said the company remains committed to scaling its business while pursuing long-term goals of self-reliance, rural development, and global expansion.
