Patanjali Foods Q4 Profit Rises 46% To ₹524 Crore; Full-Year Revenue Hits Record High

Patanjali Foods had a good March quarter. Net profit came in at ₹524 crore, up 46% from ₹359 crore a year back. Sales for the quarter touched ₹11,217 crore, which was 17% higher than the same period last year and 6% above the December quarter.

The company generated revenue of ₹40,170 crore in FY26, its highest annual figure so far. This was 19% higher than the revenue reported in FY25.

Net profit also increased during the year, rising from ₹1,301 crore in FY25 to ₹1,814 crore in FY26. At 12:14 PM today, Patanjali Foods shares were trading at ₹456.65, up 0.10%.

Costs Squeezed Margins

Profits grew, but margins told a tighter story. Quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) were ₹502 crore, with a margin of 4.48%. Gross profit came in at ₹1,398 crore on a margin of 12.47%. Raw material costs as a share of revenue went up 294 basis points compared to last year.

A big part of the problem was packaging. Towards the end of March, the cost of PET bottles and polyester films rose sharply. Crude oil price swings and higher shipping costs were the main reasons behind it.

Edible Oils Did The Heavy Lifting

The oils business brought in ₹8,324 crore during the quarter, up 23% year-on-year and 13.5% from the previous quarter. Branded oils made up about 75% of total oil sales. Palm oil prices went up nearly 20% between January and March, partly because of higher import costs from Malaysia and Indonesia and rising freight and insurance charges. Soya oil prices were up 23% during the same stretch.

FMCG Kept Pace

The consumer goods side of the business generated ₹2,890 crore in quarterly revenue, a 14% rise from last year. Segment profit was ₹292 crore with a margin of 10.1%. The Doodh biscuit brand crossed ₹1,300 crore in annual sales. Home and personal care grew 35% while skincare was up 58% year-on-year.

For the full year, FMCG revenue reached ₹11,188 crore, up nearly 20%, and accounted for about 27.6% of total revenue from operations.
