Himalaya Food International has laid out a three-phase turnaround plan through FY 2027-28, targeting debt-free status by FY 2025-26 by repaying the remaining Rs 43 crore OTS balance (Rs 59 crore already paid since April 2022) through land monetisation and a promoter-subscribed Rights Issue. The company is reviving its U.S. presence with a resumed partnership with a U.S. dollar-store chain (5,000+ outlets), a new MoU signed on 17 April 2025 with a major U.S. processor cooperative, and trial orders for 8 containers of frozen potato products from one of the largest U.S. foodservice firms. A 54,000 TPA French fry line is on track for commissioning by October 2025, which the company expects to be a key revenue driver. Management has also set a 25% CAGR target for Phase III and aims to surpass its 2013-14 peak performance by FY 2027-28, becoming a premium frozen foods player by 2030. Additionally, the company is actively pursuing Rs 25 crore in pending export incentives, subsidies, and insurance claims, plus a Rs 30 crore set-off from a Singapore arbitration award against Simplot.
This is a constructive strategic update—debt resolution, capacity expansion, and renewed U.S. export orders could support a re-rating, but execution risk remains high given the company's decade-long turnaround challenges and dependence on land sales and rights issue proceeds.
