Chairman's address on performance
Prof. Jain provided an overview of the company's operational performance for FY26. He noted that profitability remained subdued during the year under review. This trend was largely attributable to volatility in raw material prices and supply-and capacity-related constraints. Additionally, costs associated with the ongoing transformation of the value chain impacted margins. The Chairman stated that these headwinds continue to persist in the ongoing financial year.
Strategic transformation plans
The company is actively transforming its business model to establish itself as a comprehensive, end-to-end solutions provider. This strategy aims to offer customers a seamless journey from bean to bar. Lotus Chocolate also plans to modernise its manufacturing footprint by refurbishing legacy plants into state-of-the-art facilities to support its growing consumer products business.
