The statutory auditors, M/s Walker Chandiok & Co LLP, evaluated the extensive accounts and issued an audit report featuring an entirely unmodified opinion, certifying the total financial transparency of the results.
The exceptional numbers were driven by a steady recovery in rural market consumption, easing raw material inflationary pressures across domestic supply networks, and an increasingly optimized retail product mix that successfully targeted various consumer classes. The quarterly revenue for Q4FY26 also jumped to Rs. 11,15,560.31 lakh, indicating a stellar 17.28% growth on a year-on-year basis.

For the final quarter, gross profit stood at Rs. 1,398.54 crores, reflecting an attractive gross margin of 12.47%.

This high-margin vertical contributed 27.60% to the total annual operational revenues and commanded a massive 61.13% chunk of the company’s full-year EBITDA, underscoring its pivotal role in protecting overall profit margins.
Under the FMCG umbrella, the company’s biscuit category retained massive market momentum, logging Q4 revenues of Rs. 477.89 crores, with the famous ‘Doodh’ biscuit brand scaling into a massive Rs. 1,300 crore-plus annual consumer asset.
