Management Comments
Sameer R. Kothari
Managing Director
Our strategic diversification in specific growth segments like the ice cream, OTC Pharma, Beverages and footwear has started yielding some encouraging results despite the persistent slowdown in FMCG sector. I am encouraged by the performance of our OTC division in Baddi which has resumed normal production. Additionally, we have identified one more customer for the site and expect to start production by Q1FY26. In terms of our ice cream business, we continue to remain optimistic and are confident that under the leadership of Mr. Manoj Patani, our new head of business, we should be able to grow this division substantially in the next 2-3 years.
Mayank Samdani
Group CFO
The revenue for Q3FY25 was stable on QoQ basis but showed an increase on YoY basis owing to the revenue generated by the Baddi factory and the shoe business which was not a part of the FY24 numbers. However, the profit for the quarter showed a substantial improvement on a QoQ basis and YoY basis since the Baddi factory has now started contributing positively and the integration of the shoe factory is progressing as per expectations.
Manoj Patani
President, Ice Cream Division
We are thrilled with the momentum in our Ice Cream business as we gear up for the upcoming season. The Indian Ice Cream industry is experiencing remarkable growth, with the market valued at Rs. 228.6 billion in 2023 and projected to expand at a CAGR of 17.23%, reaching Rs. 956 billion by 2032. This growth is driven by rising disposable incomes, evolving consumer preferences, expanding modern retail, increasing urbanization, and the impact of heat waves that have significantly boosted Ice Cream consumption.
