Bipinbhai Hadvani, chairman and MD said: "As we reflect on Q3 FY2026, it has been marked by steady progress, decisive action and continued operational stability for Gopal Snacks.

The quarter saw the successful ramp-up of our Modasa facility and the ongoing recovery from the disruptions caused by the fire incident at our Rajkot I manufacturing facility in Q3 FY25.

In Q3 FY26, we focused on scaling production at our Modasa plant, which has now become a pivotal part of our manufacturing base. This facility, with an added installed capacity of 63,085 MT, is focused on Gathiya and Namkeen and its operationalization has significantly strengthened our production capabilities.

Additionally, we continued to work with third-party manufacturers to ensure a seamless supply of products to the market, further mitigating any potential disruptions.

In terms of operational performance, the Snack Pellets segment saw a 20.8% QoQ growth, driven by strong consumer demand and improved production efficiencies. The Gathiya segment experienced a 10.6% QoQ growth, reflecting higher sales and better utilization of production capacity.

During the quarter, our focus on core and focus markets remained strong, supported by 93 micro-distributors under the SSD model to deepen our regional penetration. This initiative has enabled us to strengthen our presence in untapped regions, ensuring better product availability across a wider geography.

The growth in Other States has been particularly strong, with an increase of 28.7% YoY, reflecting the success of our regional expansion strategy. Furthermore, the expansion of our distribution network has played a key role in driving sales growth and improving market reach."
