The company had an approximately 19% market share in the organised packaged paneer market in India in FY26. It also held approximately 12% of the organised cheese market in South India, 7% of the organised curd market in South India and 13% of the organised yogurt market in India, according to the 1Lattice Report.
As of March 31, 2026, the company offered products across 22 categories and 640 SKUs, including paneer, cheese, curd, ghee, butter, yoghurt, ice cream, UHT products, chocolates and frozen, RTE and RTC products. It introduced 538 new SKUs between April 2022 and March 2026, which contributed Rs 883.67 crore of revenue in FY26.
The company claims to have automated manufacturing processes at its Perundurai facility, including robotic paneer production, automated cheese-making and UHT lines, and automated packing lines. As of March 31, 2026, its installed capacities included 25 lakh litres per day for milk processing, 70,080 MT per annum for paneer, 5,694 MT for cheddar cheese, 17,520 MT per annum for mozzarella cheese, 15,768 MT per annum for processed cheese, 87,600 MT per annum for pouch curd, 1,75,200 MT per annum for set curd and 8,760 MT per annum for yoghurt.
As of March 31, 2026, the company procured milk directly from 74,654 farmers across 25 districts in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Its procurement network included 3,907 automated milk collection units and 29 chilling centres, with milk undergoing multiple rounds of testing before processing.
The company claims to operate its own manufacturing and logistics infrastructure, including 63 milk tankers, 282 refrigerated trucks, and 34 ambient trucks as of March 31, 2026. Its products were sold across 22 states and five Union Territories through 4,001 distributors, while it had also exported products to more than 15 countries between April 2022 and March 2026.
The company has witnessed a consistent increase in its revenue from operations and profit after tax (PAT). Revenue from operations increased from Rs 1,821.61 crore in FY24 to Rs 2,349.50 crore in FY25 and Rs 3,138.36 crore in FY26. PAT increased from Rs 19.44 crore to Rs 46.07 crore and to Rs 127.01 crore during the same period.
The company has contingent liabilities amounting to Rs 229.01 crore as of March 31, 2026. This comprises Rs 194.87 crore towards the quantum of duty saved under EPCG licenses, Rs 25.47 crore of disputed statutory liabilities, Rs 2.03 crore of disputed other liabilities, and Rs 6.64 crore in bank guarantees. Any failure to meet these obligations within the prescribed timelines or if a significant portion of these liabilities materialises could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
The company’s manufacturing operations are dependent on the availability of raw milk, with 94.51%, 97.68%, and 99.62% of its total raw milk procurement coming from Tamil Nadu in FY26, FY25, and FY24, respectively. Any adverse political, social, economic, or environmental developments in Tamil Nadu, including natural calamities, cattle diseases, changes in government policies, or disruptions affecting dairy farmers, could affect its ability to procure raw milk. Further, 74.34% of the company’s raw milk procurement in FY26 came directly from dairy farmers with whom it has no formal arrangements, while 25.66% was procured from third-party dairy operators, who may choose to sell their milk to competitors. Any inability to procure sufficient quantities of raw milk at commercially acceptable prices or pass on increases in procurement costs to customers could adversely affect the company’s production, sales, business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from South India, with revenue from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana amounting to Rs 2,172.72 crore (69.23%), Rs 1,668.07 crore (71.00%), and Rs 1,342.14 crore (73.68%) of revenue from operations in FY26, FY25, and FY24, respectively. Any adverse social, political, or economic developments, natural calamities, civil disruptions, changes in government policies, or increased competition in South India could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
As of May 31, 2026, the total outstanding fund-based borrowings were Rs 1,390.72 crore. The company has substantial indebtedness, with total borrowings of Rs 1,671.85 crore, Rs 1,376.38 crore, and Rs 1,036.72 crore as of March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The company’s debt-to-equity ratio stood at 3.61 times, 4.20 times, and 3.68 times during the same periods. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flows to service its debt, comply with financing covenants, obtain necessary lender consents, or refinance its borrowings could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and cash flows.
The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from paneer, cheese and curd, which together contributed 59.05%, 62.63% and 66.16% of revenue from operations in FY26, FY25 and FY24, respectively. Further, its top 3 SKUs contributed Rs 786.37 crore (25.06%), Rs 643.63 crore (27.39%) and Rs 530.89 crore (29.14%). Any decline in demand due to changing consumer preferences, dietary trends, concerns regarding nutritional value, or supply-chain disruptions affecting these key products and SKUs could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The company relies heavily on its manufacturing facility in Perundurai, Erode District, Tamil Nadu, where it produces value-added dairy products that account for the majority of its revenue. Any adverse social, political or economic developments, natural calamities, equipment breakdowns, industrial accidents, severe weather conditions or other disruptions affecting the facility or Tamil Nadu could lead to a slowdown or shutdown of operations, particularly as the company may be unable to shift production to an alternative facility, which could hurt its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The company is significantly dependent on its distributor network, with 2,891 distributors (72.26% of its total distributors) located in South India as of March 31, 2026, while revenue generated from South India accounted for Rs 2,172.72 crore (69.23%), Rs 1,668.07 crore (71.00%) and Rs 1,342.14 crore (73.68%) of revenue from operations in FY26, FY25 and FY24, respectively. Further, the company does not have long-term sales agreements with the majority of its distributors and extends credit of 15 to 60 days to some distributors. Any inability to retain or appoint distributors, disruption in distribution, distributors shifting to competitors, or failure of distributors to make timely payments could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The company had trade receivables amounting to Rs 176.51 crore as of March 31, 2026, compared to Rs 102.23 crore and Rs 81.84 crore as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Receivables from distributors accounted for Rs 60.41 crore (34.23%) of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2026. Any delay or failure to recover these receivables could increase bad debts, working capital requirements, and interest costs, thereby adversely affecting the company’s financial condition and cash flows.
As of May 31, 2026, the company and its subsidiary had total borrowings of Rs 1,397.36 crore. Any failure to service or repay these borrowings could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, and cash flows.
