The company filed the disclosure with the BSE Limited to comply with regulatory requirements regarding continual disclosures of changes in shareholding by promoters and designated persons.

DSM Fresh Foods reported a strong financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), with revenue from operations growing 69% to INR 221 crore compared to INR 131 crore in FY25. The company’s Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY26 stood at INR 14.4 crore, reflecting a growth of nearly 59% year-on-year, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) increased significantly to INR 43.2 crore from INR 11.7 crore in the previous year. The results were disclosed during the H2 and FY26 earnings conference call held on May 29, 2026.

The second half of the fiscal year witnessed robust acceleration, with H2 FY26 revenue reaching INR 125 crore, a nearly 100% increase from INR 65 crore in H2 FY25. This growth was driven by strong traction in the B2B HoReCa channel, deeper market penetration, and an increasing contribution from the fish and seafood category. EBITDA for H2 FY26 stood at INR 15.9 crore compared to INR 11.1 crore in the corresponding period last year, with margins at 13%. On a full-year basis, EBITDA nearly doubled to INR 31 crore from INR 16 crore in FY25.

Financial Performance

Management attributed the profitability improvements to operating leverage and procurement efficiencies. The adjusted PAT for FY26, excluding deferred tax adjustments, was INR 18.4 crore. The company noted that growth is now coinciding with profitability improvements, validating the sustainability of its business model.

Operational Highlights

The company achieved a strategic shift in its business mix during FY26, with the B2B HoReCa segment contributing 68% of revenues, while B2C contributed 32%. DSM Fresh Foods services over 300 restaurants and institutional customers. Category-wise, chicken contributes approximately 50% of revenues, while meat and seafood together contribute the remaining 50%. The contribution of fish increased from 21% in H1 to 27% in H2.

To support this growth, the company strengthened its sourcing ecosystem by partnering with nearly 300 seafood farmers and initiated the development of an integrated aquaculture platform across approximately 270 acres. Additionally, the company launched Meevaa Foods, a frozen ready-to-eat brand, which secured over 5,000 orders within 48 hours of its launch. Management expects Meevaa Foods to contribute 15-20% of overall revenues in FY27.

Looking ahead, DSM Fresh Foods is targeting revenue growth of 70-80% for FY27. The company plans to scale its offline retail presence by expanding its partner store network to 300-400 stores by the end of the year. It also aims to strengthen backward integration and expand into value-added categories to drive margin improvements.
