Patanjali Foods Limited has released its financial results for the first quarter (Q1fy26) of FY 2025-26. The company recorded a standalone revenue of ₹ 8,899.70 crore, which is 24% higher than the same quarter last year. This growth has come at a time when urban demand was weak and the competition increased in the market, especially from regional and digital brands.

Main figures and performances:

• Food and other FMCG products earned an income of ₹ 1,660.67 crore.
• Home and Personal Care (HPC) earned ₹ 639.02 crore.
• The total Ebitda was ₹ 334.17 crore, of which HPC contributed more than 36%.
• The company’s net profit was ₹ 180.39 crore.

Rural India becomes strength

While urban consumers stayed away from premium products due to inflation and government free food schemes, the rural demand remained stable. The company took steps like ‘Gramin Distributor Program’ and ‘Gramin Arogya Kendra’ to increase its reach in rural areas.

Changes in consumer behavior

Due to the decline in inflation and the popularity of small packs, urban consumers are now moving towards affordable options. Patanjali took advantage of this trend by launching small sku and value packs. Efforts like ‘Samriddhi Urban Loyalty Program’ have increased the presence and repeated orders in the brand’s urban shops.

Export and expansion

The company exported its products to 27 countries this quarter, which earned an income of ₹ 39.34 crore. Especially the demand for ghee, biscuits, juices and neutraxuticals remained in the international market.

Strength in home and personal care

Brands like ‘Dant Kanti’, ‘Kesh Kanti’ and ‘Beauty’ performed well. Consumers liked the premium variants of dental Kanti such as ‘Aloe vera’, ‘red’, ‘medicated jail’ etc.

Changes in edible oil

In the quarter, ₹ 6,685.86 crore was sold, out of which 72% was of branded oils. Demand was improved due to the fall in palm oil prices in the international market and the cut in custom duty in India.

Future direction

The company hopes that due to fall in inflation, RBI policies and good monsoon, consumer demand will improve in the coming months. Patanjali Foods has taken several strategic steps towards strengthening its brand portfolio and expanding the distribution network.

These quarterly results show that Patanjali Foods has achieved stability and growth by adopting a balanced strategy even among the challenges. The strength and consumer -centric views of rural India are becoming the key to its development.
