What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue contraction and profit expansion highlights a significant improvement in operating leverage. While revenue fell 6% to ₹1,496 crore, EBITDA margins widened by 990 basis points to 23.8%, allowing the company to retain more value per unit sold despite lower revenue realization.

Export performance showed mixed trends; total export revenue fell 50% year-on-year primarily due to lower shipments to the Middle East region. However, exports to other regions increased by 37%, indicating diversification gains outside the traditional Middle East market which accounts for nearly three-fourths of India’s basmati exports. The company also launched its India Gate Whole Flakes product, contributing ₹244 crore in revenue during the quarter.
