Overview

Bikaji Foods International reported a stellar third quarter, with net profit soaring 122% year-on-year to ₹62.6 crore. Revenue climbed 11.5% to ₹775.8 crore, while EBITDA margins dramatically expanded to 10.8% from 5.5%. The company also greenlit significant investments and a new joint venture.

Profit Jumps on Margin Expansion

Bikaji Foods International posted robust financial results for the third quarter ending December 31, 2025, with net profit more than doubling to ₹62.6 crore. This represents a significant 122% increase year-on-year from the ₹28.7 crore reported in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The surge in profitability was largely driven by improved operational efficiency and a substantial expansion in EBITDA margins.

Revenue from operations saw a healthy uptick, growing 11.5% to ₹775.8 crore, up from ₹696 crore in the prior-year period. Accompanying this top-line growth was a dramatic improvement in profitability metrics. EBITDA for the quarter reached ₹84 crore, a significant leap from ₹38 crore a year ago. Crucially, EBITDA margins expanded more than 500 basis points, widening to 10.8% from 5.5% year-on-year.

Strategic Investments Approved

Beyond the strong quarterly performance, the board of Bikaji Foods International also approved key strategic initiatives. An additional investment of up to ₹50 crore is slated for Bikaji Foods Retail Limited, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, aimed at bolstering its growth prospects. Furthermore, the company is venturing into the frozen and bakery business in India through a joint venture. This partnership involves Managing Director Deepak Agarwal and Thayekunni Khaleel, founder of the Bakemart brand, and will operate under Bikaji Bakes Private Limited.
A loan facility of up to ₹5 crore was also approved for Petunt Food Processors Private Limited, another subsidiary, indicating a focus on expanding the company's operational footprint and product offerings.

Shares of Bikaji Foods International Ltd concluded trading on January 27 at ₹649.05 on the NSE, reflecting a minor decline of 0.28% from the previous close, despite the overwhelmingly positive financial report.
