Mumbai, 14th November 2026: Patanjali Foods Limited (PFL) today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended 30th September 2026. Inflationary pressures strengthened during the quarter, with retail inflation rising from approximately 4.45% in July 2026 to 4.82% in August and 5.54% in September, marking its highest level since the revised CPI series began in January 2026.
The increase was primarily driven by food inflation, which climbed to 7.7%. Price pressures were sharper in rural markets, where a deficient monsoon and El Niño conditions weighed on sentiment, even as resilient non-farm rural activity continued to cushion household incomes. Overall, the demand environment remained supportive during the festive season, indicating healthy consumer momentum.
With this backdrop, the standalone performance of the company is as below:
- Q2FY27 Revenue from Operations: Rs. 11,322.58 crores
- Q2FY27 EBITDA (total income basis): Rs. 509.55 crores
- Q2FY27 FMCG EBITDA: Rs. 221.33 crores
- H1FY27 Revenue from Operations: Rs. 22,660.03 crores
- H1FY27 FMCG Revenue: Rs. 5,861.23 crores Q2FY27
- FMCG Revenue Rs. 2,923.48 crores
- H1FY27 EBITDA (total income basis) Rs. 1,057.38 crores
- H1FY27 FMCG EBITDA: Rs. 410.85 crores
“Q2FY27 performance reflected the resilience of our integrated business model across branded edible oils, upstream oil palm plantations and a growing FMCG portfolio. Amid evolving consumption patterns, Doodh Biscuits, Nutrela, Saundarya and Dant Kanti sustained their growth trajectory, supported by our diversified portfolio and extensive distribution network. The quarter also saw a shift in festive demand, with Navratri commencing in October this year compared to September last year, while Pitru Paksha during September deferred some festive-led purchases, influencing the timing of festive-led demand and revenue across the quarters. With the recent festive season and the upcoming wedding season, we expect growth momentum to continue. From a broader lens, our focus remains on strengthening our business fundamentals through premiumisation, scaling our edible oils and FMCG portfolio, and expanding our oil palm plantation business. Alongside these priorities, improving operational efficiencies will remain important in enhancing earnings quality and driving sustainable growth."

• Edible Oil scenario:
- Global market dynamics: Global vegetable oil markets remained firm, as dry weather affected palm oil production in Indonesia, while the B50 biodiesel mandate supported domestic palm oil demand. Strong US demand for soybean oil for biofuel production further tightened supplies, partly offset by higher soybean crushing and increased global rapeseed and sunflower seed production.
- Domestic policy developments: Against this global backdrop, the government reduced the effective import duty on crude palm and crude soybean oil to 11.0% from 16.5% and on crude sunflower oil to 5.5% from 16.5%, effective 24 September 2026. Separately, the introduction of standardised pack sizes for edible oils in September 2026 marks a positive structural step towards greater transparency and a level playing field for organised national brands.
