In Q1 FY25, the edible oil segment revenue grew by 8% YoY to Rs 10,649 crore, with an underlying volume growth of 12% YoY.

The Food & FMCG segments revenue in Q1 FY25 grew by 40% to Rs 1,533 crore, with an underlying volume growth of 42% YoY. While Oleo and Castor oil in the Industry Essential segment experienced strong double digit volume growth, a decline in the oil meal business impacted the segments overall growth.

Additionally, branded exports volume has surged by 36% YoY.

The company recorded its highest-ever EBITDA of Rs 619 crore, up by 375% YoY, in Q1 FY25 on the back of stability in edible oil prices.
