Commenting on the Performance, Mr. Sujit Bangar – Chairman & Whole-Time Director, said,
“Q3 FY26 represents a strategic inflection point for Krishival Foods, with our Ice Cream business, Melt N Mellow, beginning to contribute at the PAT level-well ahead of scale maturity. This reflects the strength of our operating model, improved capacity utilisation and a sharp focus on cost discipline, even amid seasonal headwinds.

Our Nuts business, Krishival Nuts, continues to deliver consistent topline growth and margin expansion, supported by premiumisation, festive and wedding-led demand, procurement discipline and operating leverage.

With the successful completion of our 9,999.48 lakh Rights Issue, we are well-capitalised to invest in processing infrastructure, working capital efficiency and scalable, margin-accretive growth initiatives. We remain focused on building a differentiated, profitable FMCG platform with sustainable returns for shareholders.”
