AWL Agri Business reported 24% YoY revenue growth and 12% YoY volume growth for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The performance was driven by strong momentum in the Food & FMCG and Industry Essentials segments, while the Edible Oil business maintained steady growth.

The Food & FMCG segment emerged as the primary growth engine, delivering 33% YoY revenue growth. This segment crossed ₹2,000 crore in quarterly revenue for the first time, marking its highest-ever quarterly figure. Broad-based growth was observed across categories, with Wheat and Rice businesses performing robustly. Emerging categories such as Besan, Pulses, Soya Nuggets, Sugar, Sattu, and Poha now contribute more than 35% to the Food portfolio and recorded approximately 50% YoY revenue growth.

Segment Performance Breakdown

The Edible Oil business recorded 3% YoY volume growth, supported by healthy domestic demand for Mustard Oil and Rice Bran Oil. The company noted that the government's implementation of standardized pack sizes from September 2026 has enhanced transparency. Additionally, the reduction in import duties on soyabean, sunflower, and palm oil on September 23, 2026, is expected to support medium-term consumption through improved affordability.

What the Numbers Show

A distinct divergence exists between the overall volume growth of 12% and the revenue growth of 24%. This gap suggests that the revenue surge is not solely driven by unit expansion but also by a favorable mix shift toward higher-value categories. The Food & FMCG segment’s 33% revenue growth significantly outpaced the Edible Oil segment’s 3% volume growth, indicating that premiumization and category diversification are becoming more critical to topline expansion than traditional commodity volume gains.

Channel Expansion and New Products

Alternate Channels, comprising E-Commerce, Quick Commerce, and Modern Trade, delivered double-digit growth. Within Food & FMCG, these channels collectively grew 40% YoY. The company reported average market shares exceeding 10% in Atta, 25% in Besan, and over 40% in Soya Nuggets across these digital platforms.

Branded Exports maintained strong momentum with 59% YoY volume growth, while HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering) scaled with 21% YoY growth. Subsidiary GD Foods (Tops) recorded 30%+ YoY revenue growth, driven by sauces and emerging categories like noodles and jams. Omkar Chemicals delivered 16% YoY volume growth in specialty chemicals.

During the quarter, AWL launched Fortune Yellow Mustard Oil and expanded its premium portfolio with items like Sharbati Atta and Fortune Premio Olive Oil. These launches align with the company’s strategy to focus on health, value-added offerings, and regional preferences.
