Prataap Snacks reported a net profit of ₹2.47 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 257% year-on-year increase from ₹0.69 crore in Q1FY26. Revenue from operations rose 20% to ₹490.43 crore, up from ₹408.94 crore in the corresponding period last year. The strong top-line growth was primarily driven by higher sales income, which increased to ₹490.43 crore from ₹408.94 crore. This performance underscores robust demand in the snacks food segment, with the company maintaining its focus on operational efficiency despite rising material costs.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at its meeting held on August 01, 2026. Statutory Auditor B S R & Co. LLP issued a limited review report with an unmodified opinion on the financial statements. The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34) and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The Board also noted that the figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are balancing figures between audited full-year figures and published year-to-date figures.

In a strategic move to expand its manufacturing footprint, the Board approved the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of RLOP Food Processing Private Limited for a cash consideration of up to ₹16.50 crore. RLOP holds leasehold rights over government-allotted land intended for Prataap Snacks’ proposed greenfield manufacturing project. The acquisition is expected to be completed by September 15, 2026. Additionally, the Board approved the allotment of 19,428 equity shares and the grant of 50,906 Employee Stock Appreciation Rights (ESARs) under the ESARP 2018 plan to eligible employees.

The Board also approved the reclassification of six promoters from the “Promoter” category to the “Public” category under Regulation 31A of the SEBI Listing Regulations. The shareholders seeking reclassification include Arvind Mehta, Naveen Mehta, Arun Kumar Mehta, Rita Mehta, Kanta Mehta, and Rajesh Kumar Mehta. Their aggregate shareholding exceeds 1% of total voting rights, necessitating shareholder approval via an ordinary resolution. The Board confirmed that these promoters do not exercise control over the company’s management or affairs.

Furthermore, the Board recommended the re-appointment of Amit Kumat as Managing Director and CEO for five years effective September 23, 2026, and Apoorva Kumat as Executive Director for five years effective November 2, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. A final dividend of 10% (₹0.50 per share) for FY26 was previously recommended and awaits approval at the Annual General Meeting.

Financial Highlights

What the Numbers Show

The significant surge in net profit outpaced revenue growth, indicating improved operating leverage. While total expenses rose 19% to ₹490.78 crore, largely due to a 23% increase in cost of materials consumed to ₹354.45 crore, the company managed to expand its profit margin. Other income contributed ₹16.34 lakh, a decline from ₹24.16 lakh in Q1FY26, suggesting that the profit growth was operationally driven rather than reliant on non-operating gains. The tax expense stood at ₹88.42 lakh, reflecting a lower effective tax rate compared to the prior year’s proportionate burden.

Prataap Snacks has received formal requests from six individuals classified as promoters to reclassify their shareholdings from the "Promoter/Promoters Group" to the "Public" category. This disclosure, made pursuant to Regulation 31A(8)(a) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, was submitted to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited on August 1, 2026.

The reclassification request impacts the company's promoter holding percentage and increases the public shareholding base. Under the Listing Regulations, such reclassifications are permitted when promoters wish to be treated as part of the public category for regulatory compliance purposes. The company stated it would take necessary steps within the time and manner required by the regulations.

Shareholder Details

The requests were dated August 1, 2026, and involve the following shareholders:

Three of the six named shareholders — Mr. Arun Kumar Mehta, Mrs. Kanta Mehta, and Mr. Rajesh Kumar Mehta — currently hold nil shares in the company. The remaining three shareholders collectively hold 5,11,136 shares, representing 2.14% of the paid-up capital.

Regulatory Context

Regulation 31A of the SEBI LODR Regulations governs the classification of shareholders into promoter and public categories. Reclassification from promoter to public category is a procedural step that requires disclosure to stock exchanges. It does not imply a sale or transfer of shares but changes how the holding is categorized for compliance with public shareholding norms.

Sanjay Chourey, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer at Prataap Snacks Limited, signed the intimation letter. The company’s registered office is located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

What This Means for Investors

The reclassification will increase the reported public shareholding of Prataap Snacks Limited by approximately 2.14%. This may help the company maintain or improve its compliance with minimum public shareholding requirements mandated by SEBI. Investors should note that this is a regulatory reclassification and does not involve any change in beneficial ownership or control of the company.
