Bikaji Foods Bets Big on US Snacks: $5 Lakh Investment Fuels Global Growth! See How This Move Could Boost Shares!

Bikaji Foods International Limited is strategically expanding its global footprint and manufacturing capacity. The company's Board has approved an additional investment of $500,000 in its US subsidiary, Bikaji Foods International USA Corp. This capital infusion is aimed at strengthening the distribution network in the United States, thereby enhancing customer accessibility and market reach for its wide range of snack products. The US subsidiary has demonstrated its market presence with a reported turnover of $17,69,792 in the fiscal year 2025. The investment will be made through the subscription of 50,000 common stocks of the subsidiary.

In parallel, Bikaji Foods is deepening its domestic manufacturing base by acquiring Petunt Food Processors Private Limited (PFPPL). The Board approved a Rs 4 crore loan agreement and the acquisition of equity shares to make PFPPL a wholly-owned subsidiary. PFPPL operates in manufacturing and processing food products, including sweets and namkeen, aligning with Bikaji's core offerings.

Bikaji Foods maintains a diverse product portfolio, with ethnic snacks contributing the largest share of revenue (68.1%), followed by packaged sweets (13.2%). This diversification helps in catering to varied consumer preferences and market demands.

This dual strategy of international expansion and strengthening domestic manufacturing is expected to drive revenue growth, diversify market presence, and potentially increase shareholder value for Bikaji Foods International Limited. The investment in the US market taps into a large consumer base for ethnic foods, while the PFPPL acquisition enhances production capabilities for its popular sweet and savory items.
