Patanjali Foods' FMCG and edible oil businesses continue to perform well despite rising inflation. Patanjali Foods reported its highest-ever revenue in H1 FY27.
Patanjali Foods achieves excellent financial results; turnover crosses Rs 22,660 crore.
Patanjali Foods Limited has announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and first half year ended September 30, 2026. The company reported strong performance during this period, recording its highest-ever revenue, driven by its edible oil, palm oil plantation, and FMCG businesses.
Inflationary pressures in the country increased during this quarter. Retail inflation was around 4.45% in July 2026, rising to 4.82% in August and 5.54% in September. This was the highest level of inflation since the release of the new CPI data in January 2026. Food inflation rose to 7.7%, primarily due to rising food prices. Deficient rainfall and the impact of El Niño had a greater impact on rural areas, although income from activities other than agriculture in rural areas provided support. Despite this, consumer demand and purchasing sentiment remained positive during the festive season.
