The company reported consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 10,483.7 crore in Q3 FY26, up 16.5% year-on-year (YoY) from Rs 8,996.9 crore in Q3 FY25. On a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, revenue rose 7.2% from Rs 9,776.9 crore in Q2 FY26.

On the bottomline, Patanjali Foods posted a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 593.4 crore in Q3 FY26, up 60.0% YoY from Rs 370.9 crore in Q3 FY25. PAT also increased 14.9% QoQ from Rs 516.7 crore in Q2 FY26.

Commenting on the performance, Sanjeev Asthana, Chief Executive Officer, Patanjali Foods Limited, said: “Driven by disciplined execution of our business strategies over recent quarters, the Company achieved its strongest financial performance to date across multiple metrics, even amid a dynamic operating environment. Revenues for both the quarter and the nine-month period reached record highs. The December quarter proved to be a milestone for our FMCG segment, and we are committed to enhancing operational efficiency and fostering long-term consumption growth. In the edible oil side, the prices in mark to market dropped which have now in turn stabilized.”

FMCG growth led by biscuits, dental and skin care

During Q3 FY26, the company said its biscuits business continued to grow and recorded revenues of Rs 490.11 crore, delivering a YoY growth of 26.44%.

It added that input costs remained under pressure during the quarter, with sugar prices rising both YoY and sequentially. Milk prices were higher on a YoY basis, while remaining stable on a QoQ basis.

For the nine-month period (9M FY26), Patanjali Foods said revenues from its biscuit brand Doodh surpassed FY25 levels, with cumulative sales crossing Rs 1,000 crore. It also highlighted that its Nariyal biscuit continued to make inroads, supported by promising growth in the overall biscuits space.

In personal care, the company said its dental care segment generated revenue of Rs 339.27 crore in Q3 FY26, followed by skin care at Rs 155.74 crore, home care at Rs 77.73 crore, and hair care and other products at Rs 54.78 crore.

Outlook: Strong finish expected for FY26

In its outlook, the company noted that moderation in inflation during the December quarter was largely driven by a decline in vegetable and fuel prices, supported by a favourable base effect among other reasons.

Patanjali Foods also said it expects a strong finish to FY26 from a demand standpoint, aided by favourable macro tailwinds. The company highlighted GST 2.0 reforms, stating these could eventually boost consumption through price cuts in larger packs and grammage additions in smaller packs, while adding that its edible oil segment remains unaffected by GST changes.

It further pointed to urban demand strengthening in the coming quarters, supported by easing inflation and the positive impact of revised direct and indirect taxation measures. Rural demand, the company said, is poised to sustain growth momentum, driven by a positive Kharif output, lower inflation and welfare schemes that are enhancing disposable income.
