Heritage Foods crosses ₹45,000 Mn Revenue Mark in FY26 despite Margin Pressure

Hyderabad, May 11 (UNI) Heritage Foods Limited (HFL) on Monday reported resilient revenue growth for FY2025-26 despite severe milk supply shortages and elevated input costs, crossing the ₹45,000 million annual revenue milestone for the first time.
In a release, the company reported revenue growth of 9 per cent year-on-year to ₹45,260 million in FY26, while fourth-quarter revenue rose 10 per cent to ₹11,576 million despite weak flush season conditions, milk shortages and weather-related disruptions across key markets.
Value-added products (VAP) continued to drive growth momentum, with VAP revenue increasing 13 per cent year-on-year to ₹14,678 million in FY26 and 18 per cent growth in Q4FY26 to ₹3,957 million. VAP contribution improved to 35.3 per cent in FY26 compared to 32 per cent in the previous year.
Paneer volumes grew 27 per cent year-on-year during FY26, while curd volumes rose 7 per cent and ice cream volumes increased 15 per cent, reflecting strong consumer demand and improving product mix.
Ms. Brahmani Nara, Executive Director, Heritage Foods Limited, said the company remained focused on strengthening procurement infrastructure, expanding distribution reach and scaling high-growth categories despite challenging industry conditions.
She said continued investments in premiumisation, value-added products and new capacities positioned the company for sustainable long-term growth as market conditions gradually normalise.
However, elevated milk procurement costs impacted profitability during the year.
Average landed milk costs rose 8 per cent year-on-year to ₹46.7 per litre in Q4FY26, resulting in EBITDA margin contraction of 311 basis points to 4.5 per cent.
The company reported Q4FY26 EBITDA of ₹522 million, down 35 per cent year-on-year, while profit after tax declined 37 per cent to ₹239 million.
Despite supply-side constraints, Heritage Foods said its procurement network demonstrated resilience, although procurement volumes declined 7 per cent year-on-year to 16.38 LLPD during the quarter.
The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Nutrivet Limited, reported a 33 per cent increase in revenue to ₹2,454 million during FY26, while profit before tax rose to ₹206 million.
Heritage Foods also reported strong growth in emerging channels, with e-commerce and quick-commerce revenues rising 56 per cent year-on-year, while fresh distribution and other emerging channels grew 49 per cent.
