The Board of Directors of DSM Fresh Foods Ltd (brand: Zappfresh) approved the incorporation of a new subsidiary called Varuna Aquatech Private Limited on 17 March 2026. The new subsidiary will operate in the aquaculture, fisheries, seafood processing, trading, and export space, marking the company's expansion beyond its core fresh meat business. DSM Fresh Foods will hold a 71% stake, while individuals Rajnish Kumar and Akhil Gupta will hold 20% and 9% respectively. The proposed subsidiary will have an authorized share capital of ₹10 lakh and a paid-up capital of ₹1 lakh, with subscription made in cash at face value. The filing confirms no regulatory or governmental approvals are required for the incorporation.
This is a diversification move into the aquaculture and seafood sector, which could open a new growth vertical for shareholders. Since the subsidiary is newly incorporated at a small capital base, the immediate financial impact is negligible, but it signals management's intent to expand into allied food businesses.
