AWL Agri Business Ltd announced a record consolidated revenue of ₹21,000 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26, marking an 18% increase compared to the same period last year. The company also reported a consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹293 crore, a significant 54% rise year-on-year.
This strong performance was primarily driven by a 14% surge in volume growth during the quarter. The crucial edible oil segment saw its revenue climb 19% year-on-year to ₹17,520 crore. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) per ton also showed healthy growth, increasing by 23% year-on-year to ₹3,400.
For the full fiscal year FY26, AWL Agri Business achieved a consolidated revenue of ₹74,000 crore, up 17% from the previous year, with an annual volume growth of 4%.
The company's strategic focus on expanding volume and diversifying sales channels, especially in areas like e-commerce and the Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes (HoReCa) sector, is showing positive results. New product launches, such as Fortune Premio oils, aim to enhance its premium offerings.
Looking ahead to FY27, AWL Agri Business plans to prioritize double-digit volume growth within its Food business. The company intends to broaden its reach through both direct and indirect outlets to capture more markets.
However, management noted potential near-term challenges. Rising costs for packing materials, chemicals, and coal, observed in March, are expected to affect performance in the first quarter of FY27. While demand saw some softness in April, a recovery is anticipated for May and June. The company also faces ongoing competition, particularly from private labels and smaller rivals in segments like wheat flour.
