Hindustan Foods Limited achieved a record quarterly revenue of ₹1,000 crores for the first time in its history during Q2 FY'26, demonstrating significant transformation and accelerated growth over the past four years. The company reported a 16% year-on-year growth in total income for H1 FY'26, reaching ₹2,041 crores, with EBITDA growing 17% to ₹173 crores.

For Q2 FY'26, total income rose 18% year-on-year to ₹1,043 crores, with EBITDA increasing 24% to ₹90 crores and PAT growing 54% to ₹35 crores.

The company's growth is attributed to strategic diversification across product categories, the addition of new customers, an aggressive M&A policy, and a refined business model. Capital allocation remains disciplined, with ₹200 crores of new capacity commercialized in H1 FY'26 and an additional ₹550 crores plus advancing towards commissioning.

The shoes division delivered its highest ever quarterly revenue of ₹133 crores and is now PAT positive.

Hindustan Foods expects accelerated growth due to GST rationalization, especially in ice creams and bottled beverages, and continues to pursue both organic and inorganic opportunities. The company maintains a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents at ₹162 crores and a net debt to equity of 0.67 as of September 30, 2025.
