AI · written from filings

Sells branded basmati and specialty rice (88% of FY26 revenue), organic foods, and ready-to-eat/ready-to-cook (RTE/RTC) rice-based meals across India and overseas markets through brands including DAAWAT, Royal, and Golden Star. The core Basmati segment earns by selling milled, packaged rice to retail consumers in India (where it held 23.1% market share) and abroad, with North America at 49% YoY growth in Q1 FY27 and the Royal brand holding 60%+ share of US Basmati imports. The Organic Foods & Ingredients segment — which crossed Rs 1,016 cr in FY26 but is being remodeled from wholesale to a consumer packaged goods model — generated Rs 254 cr at a 4% EBITDA margin in Q1 FY27. The smaller RTE/RTC business (Rs 53 cr in Q1 FY27, up 13% YoY) sells biryani kits and ready meals, with a new US facility becoming operational and a UK target of GBP 100 million by 2030. The company is present in 85+ countries, with international markets accounting for 71% of Q1 FY27 revenue. Raw paddy is the biggest input cost at 63.5% of revenue, with inventory of 3.46 lakh tons at Rs 56/kg and 1.64 lakh tons at Rs 38/kg.
