Mamata Machinery Navigates Q3 with Strategic Focus on Sustainable Packaging and Global Expansion

Mamata Machinery Limited, a prominent player in flexible packaging machinery solutions, has presented a nuanced performance for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2025 (9MFY26), alongside its Q3FY26 results. While the nine-month period demonstrated resilient growth, the third quarter experienced some inherent business lumpiness. The company continues to strategically position itself for future growth, emphasizing innovation in sustainable packaging and expanding its global footprint.

For 9MFY26, Mamata Machinery reported a robust 11% year-on-year growth in Revenue from Operations, reaching ₹159.25 crore. However, Q3FY26 saw a marginal decline of 8% in revenue, settling at ₹67.22 crore. Profitability also reflected this quarterly variability, with 9MFY26 EBITDA remaining flat compared to the previous year, while Q3FY26 EBITDA registered a decrease due to lower gross margins, primarily influenced by product-mix changes. Despite these short-term fluctuations, the company's strategic initiatives and long-term vision remain firmly in place.

Financial Highlights: A Snapshot

Strategic Thrust on Packaging and Innovation

The company's packaging division is emerging as a key growth driver. This quarter, Mamata Machinery secured a significant multi-machine order for its VFFS packaging machines from a leading Indian snacks and namkeen brand. This achievement not only reinforces its position as a preferred indigenous packaging technology provider but also highlights the increasing market acceptance of its packaging portfolio beyond its traditional HFFS lines. The company is actively increasing its focus on this division, anticipating it to be a primary engine for future growth.

In a significant move towards sustainability, Mamata Machinery has launched its pioneering recyclable packaging technology, 'RecTech™', at Plastindia 2026. This advanced mono-material film offers superior barrier protection and mechanical performance compared to conventional non-recyclable composite films. 'RecTech™' is designed to bridge the cost gap between traditional and recyclable films, aiming to accelerate the widespread adoption of sustainable packaging solutions across domestic brands. This initiative is complemented by a comprehensive recyclable-compatible packaging ecosystem, including 7/9-layer co-extrusion blown film plants, pouch makers, and HFFS & VFFS packaging machines, all developed and manufactured in-house.

Global Footprint and Future Outlook

Mamata Machinery is also gearing up for major international industry events to bolster its global presence. The company will unveil its latest innovations in recyclable co-extrusion technology and sustainable film-compatible converting and packaging solutions at Plastindia 2026. Furthermore, Interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf will mark Mamata's maiden presence at this premier global packaging exhibition, where it plans to showcase its complete packaging technology portfolio to strengthen its international footprint.

While the ongoing delay in the resolution of the US tariff situation and the India-US trade deal has temporarily impacted the American business and order intake, Mamata is proactively expanding opportunities in domestic and other global markets, particularly for its packaging portfolio. This strategy is keeping the company on track with its business plan for FY26 and beyond. Management anticipates Q4FY26 to be a crucial period for scheduled deliveries in the packaging division, signaling a strong close to the fiscal year.
