Patanjali Foods Limited (formerly Ruchi Soya) is an integrated edible-oil processor and FMCG company, operating refineries, soya processing, branded edible oils and a growing portfolio of food, biscuits, HPC and nutraceutical products under brands such as Ruchi Gold, Sunrich, Nutrela and Doodh biscuits, with large oil palm plantations and a nationwide distribution network.

Q3 FY26 delivered record standalone revenue from operations of Rs. 10,483.71 crore (YoY +16.5%), with 9M revenue at Rs. 29,013.98 crore; consolidated operating EBITDA (ex-exceptionals) was Rs. 492.06 crore for the quarter (4.69% margin) and Rs. 1,429.56 crore for 9M (4.93% margin), demonstrating scale while margins remain sensitive to commodity cycles.

The company remains heavily weighted to edible oils — c.85% of edible oil sales are now from branded SKUs — while FMCG is the faster-growing, higher-margin engine: FMCG contributed 30.7% of Q3 revenues but nearly two-thirds of Q3 EBITDA, showing the strategic shift toward branded consumer products and improving profitability mix.

Patanjali Foods operates a materially sized oil-palm plantation base (1,08,164 hectares planted, ~39% in prime yield years) and has guided an aggressive addition of roughly 40,000 hectares in the next planting cycle; distribution reach exceeds two million retail outlets and continues to expand across modern trade, e-commerce and quick-commerce channels.

Management has set explicit segment growth and margin targets — foods 8–10% growth, HPC c.15% growth, edible oil 3–4% volume growth — and expects GST 2.0 benefits, improved urban demand and branded conversion to support volume recovery and a gradual move toward higher consolidated EBITDA as FMCG contribution grows.
