NHC Foods has incorporated Conquer Enterprises LLC as a foreign subsidiary in the United States to expand its general trading operations. The entity was registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State on September 16, 2026.

The new limited liability company is wholly owned by Conquer Enterprises Limited, which serves as the foreign step-down subsidiary of NHC Foods. The incorporation aims to enhance the company’s business operations in the US and broader global markets.

Incorporation Details

Conquer Enterprises LLC is registered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. As a newly incorporated entity, it has not yet commenced business operations, and no turnover figures are available. The company holds 100% subscription to the share capital of the new subsidiary.

Regulatory Compliance

NHC Foods disclosed the incorporation pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing confirms that the transaction does not constitute a related-party transaction, and no promoter or group company interest exists in the target entity beyond the corporate structure.

No governmental or regulatory approvals were required for the incorporation. The process was completed on September 16, 2026, with the disclosure submitted on September 17, 2026.

NHC Foods has approved the acquisition of up to an 88% stake in Lotmor Brands Private Limited and an 80% stake in Walya's Beverages Private Limited. The company’s Board of Directors also appointed Suryakant Dhondhu Walavalkar as an Additional Director and Executive Director effective September 16, 2026.

The acquisitions aim to leverage the procurement and distribution capabilities of the target entities to create synergy with NHC Foods' existing business. The board noted that positive cash flows from these entities would strengthen the acquiring company's financials. Shareholder approval is required if the consideration involves issuing shares.

Acquisition Details

The consideration for both acquisitions will be in cash or shares issued at ₹6.5 per share. This price is subject to determination after six months from the disclosure date, in accordance with SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018. Due diligence for both deals is expected to be completed within six months.

Lotmor Brands reported a turnover of ₹1,797.39 crore in FY25, down from ₹2,604.27 crore in FY24 and ₹2,461.11 crore in FY23. Walya's Beverages recorded a turnover of ₹222.75 crore in FY25, a significant decline from ₹714.85 crore in FY24. The entity had nil turnover in FY23.

Strategic Context and Market Outlook

The acquisitions position NHC Foods strategically across food, innovation, and nostalgia. India's carbonated beverage market is projected to reach ₹2 lakh crore by FY28 at an 11% CAGR. Lotmor Brands has established a footprint across more than 20 states and 22,000 retail outlets, including partnerships with Reliance Smart, D'Mart, and leading quick commerce platforms.

By integrating Lotmor's capital-efficient manufacturing model into NHC Foods' framework, the combined entity aims to expand its presence to over 700 modern trade stores and grow its distributor network to over 400 partners.

Leadership Appointment

Suryakant Dhondhu Walavalkar brings over 28 years of experience in supply chain strategy and executive leadership. He currently serves as the Founder and Managing Director of Lotmor Brands. Previously, he held senior roles at Samsonite South Asia, Tarz Distribution India, Shoppers Stop, and Sony India. His appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing General Meeting.

Financial Performance Update

NHC Foods delivered a strong improvement in financial performance in Q1FY27. Consolidated net profit rose 924% year on year, supported by higher revenue and volumes during the quarter. This sharp improvement reflects better operating performance and increased business activity across core operations.

The company recently entered into binding Heads of Terms for a proposed manufacturing facility in Liberia. It also strengthened its capital base through a ₹53.76 crore preferential issue of convertible warrants and conversion of 19 Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds into 18.18 crore equity shares.

What the Numbers Show

The financial trajectories of the two target entities present a divergence. While Lotmor Brands shows a consistent decline in turnover over the last three fiscal years, dropping from over ₹2,400 crore to under ₹1,800 crore, Walya's Beverages experienced a sharper contraction, with turnover falling by more than 68% from FY24 to FY25. Despite these declines, NHC Foods cites positive cash flows and distribution synergies as the primary drivers for these investments. The 924% rise in Q1FY27 net profit provides a stronger financial base for these expansion efforts.
