Commenting on the Performance, Mr. Sujit Bangar — Chairman & Whole-Time Director, said,

“FY26 has been a defining year for the Company, marked by strong execution across both business segments.

A key highlight was the consolidation of profitability in the Nuts & Dry Fruits segment under Krishival Nuts, which achieved a healthy PAT margin of 10%.

Simultaneously, the Ice Cream segment under Melt N Mellow demonstrated meaningful progress, attaining scale along with EBITDA margin of 7%.

During the year, the Company successfully completed a ₹100 crore Rights Issue. The proceeds are being strategically deployed towards capacity expansion, supply chain strengthening, and significant investments in cold-chain infrastructure, including a rapidly expanding freezer network.

With strong visibility on capacity ramp-up, continued distribution expansion, and benefits of operating leverage, the management remains confident of delivering sustained high growth with progressive improvement in profitability over the medium term.”
