Krishival Foods’ Q3 profit jumps to Rs 6.41 crore
Revenue rises to Rs 76.86 crore as margins expand to 15.01 per cent
MUMBAI: Krishival Foods Limited has posted a sharp jump in revenue and profits for the quarter ended 31 December 2025, as festive demand, operating leverage and an unexpected winter surge in ice cream sales lifted margins.
The Mumbai-based FMCG company reported unaudited revenue of Rs 76.86 crore for the third quarter, up 40 per cent year on year. Ebitda rose 263 per cent to Rs 11.54 crore, with margins expanding to 15.01 per cent. Net profit climbed to Rs 6.41 crore from Rs 0.05 crore a year earlier.
For the nine months ended December, total revenue reached Rs 197.57 crore, nearing the Rs 202 crore reported for the full previous financial year.
The standout performer was Melt N Mellow, the company’s ice cream business, which turned profitable at the Pat level for the first time despite the winter season. Quarterly revenue more than doubled to Rs 21.01 crore, while Pat swung to a profit of Rs 0.58 crore from a loss of Rs 2.33 crore a year ago.
The core Krishival Nuts business continued to anchor growth, buoyed by festive and wedding-season demand. Quarterly revenue rose 14.7 per cent to Rs 54.82 crore, while nine-month revenue increased 22 per cent to Rs 147.19 crore. Segment Pat for the quarter surged 146 per cent to Rs 5.88 crore.
To fund expansion, the company recently closed a Rs 9,999.48 lakh rights issue, offering 45 shares for every 301 held. Proceeds will be used to set up a new processing facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, aimed at quadrupling daily nut processing capacity from 10 metric tonnes to 40 metric tonnes over three years.
Krishival has also expanded its retail footprint, with more than 10,000 nut touchpoints across 110 cities, over 26,000 ice cream outlets, and nearly 9,900 deep freezers deployed across five states. Internationally, the company has entered Singapore, where it is present in more than 300 retail outlets.
Chairman Sujit Bangar described the period as a strategic inflection point, as the company scales its dual-brand portfolio positioned around premium-yet-accessible snacking.
