Gopal Snacks Ltd

Gopal Snacks Limited has commissioned a new Besan manufacturing unit at its existing Nagpur facility, enhancing its backward integration. The unit has an installed capacity of 19,642 MT per annum. This expansion is expected to reduce transportation costs from Rajkot to Nagpur, simplify material movement, and improve the overall efficiency of Nagpur operations. The company anticipates recurring cost benefits from this one-time capital expenditure. The Nagpur facility is a critical manufacturing hub for growth outside Gujarat, producing various snack categories. This move aligns with the company's strategy of investing in areas that deliver lasting operating benefits and supports its growth plans in a challenging environment.

The company's primary business involves manufacturing and trading food products, with potato chips, namkeen, and other snacks contributing over 90% of its turnover. The BRSR is filed on a standalone basis and is available on the company's website. Key disclosures include details on its 4 manufacturing plants and 1 office location across India, serving 13 states nationally and 9 countries internationally, with exports accounting for a minimal 0.11% of total turnover. Employee data highlights a total workforce of 4115 workers and 1455 employees, with specific breakdowns for gender and permanent/non-permanent status.

The report is being sent electronically to members with registered email addresses and via web-link for others. The report highlights the company's journey from its founding in 1999 by Bipin Hadvani to becoming a leading FMCG company.

Gopal Snacks Ltd announced its financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, achieving its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹422.3 Crores, a 31.1% year-on-year increase. The company also saw a 3.5 times growth in Profit Before Tax (PBT) and a 280 basis points margin expansion. Key drivers included the commencement of the Rajkot manufacturing facility, strong consumer demand across product categories like Gathiya and Wafers, and an expanded distribution network reaching 1,007 distributors. The recommissioned Rajkot facility, with an installed capacity of 1,05,233 MTPA, is expected to improve operational efficiencies. The company reported a 7.4% EBITDA margin and a 4.4% PBT margin (before exceptional items).

Gopal Snacks Ltd announced the re-appointment of Bipinbhai Vithalbhai Hadvani as Chairman & Managing Director for a 5-year term from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2031. The re-appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM). Additionally, Harsh Sureshkumar Shah was re-appointed as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, also pending shareholder approval. The board also approved the convening of the 17th AGM on September 18, 2026, and reviewed the unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, along with the auditor's limited review report. The company also confirmed compliance with SEBI listing regulations regarding these announcements.

Gopal Snacks Ltd's Board of Directors convened on August 7, 2026, approving the unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The board also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Harsh Sureshkumar Shah as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director and Mr. Bipinbhai Vithalbhai Hadvani as Chairman and Managing Director for a five-year term starting October 1, 2026. Additionally, the company announced the 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for September 18, 2026, to be held via video conferencing.

Gopal Snacks' standalone Q1 FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) revenue from operations came in at ₹422.3 Cr, up 31.1% YoY from ₹322.2 Cr and up a modest 3.1% QoQ from ₹409.6 Cr. Standalone PAT was ₹12.85 Cr against ₹2.52 Cr a year ago (+409% YoY reported; ~+431% on an adjusted basis after stripping the negligible ₹0.22 Cr exceptional gain booked in the year-ago quarter), lifting net margin to 3.04% of total income from just 0.78% in Q1 FY26. There were no exceptional items this quarter, unlike Q4 FY26, which carried a ₹17.49 Cr insurance-claim exceptional gain (part of ₹37.46 Cr received during FY26 against the December 2024 Rajkot fire) that inflated that quarter's PAT to ₹29.95 Cr — the resulting -57.1% QoQ PAT decline is a base-effect from that one-off, not sequential deterioration, and should not be read as weakness. The scale of the YoY jump reflects how depressed the year-ago base was: Q1 FY26 sat close to breakeven as the company worked through post-fire supply disruption and, per management's November 2025 concall, a deliberate effort to regain lost customer base over 6-7 months while full-year guidance was withdrawn. That window (Nov 2025 plus 6-7 months) lines up with this quarter, and the Rajkot plant's recommissioning in May 2026 (capacity 1,05,233 MTPA) — the first quarter with full supply-chain resumption since the fire — is the operational driver most directly tied to the revenue and margin recovery. No consensus Q1-specific street estimate for Gopal Snacks was found; brokerages had flagged "healthy growth" for FMCG names into Q1 FY27 without a hard number, and analysts separately pencil in 15-20% PAT growth for full FY27 — this quarter's YoY PAT growth runs well ahead of that annualized pace, though the comparison isn't apples-to-apples given the unusually weak year-ago base. Management's 25-26% gross-margin guidance from the same call was not restated in this filing. Separately, the company disclosed a ₹16.55 Cr GST show-cause notice received June 5, 2026, unprovisioned in this statement, and the board used this meeting to re-appoint CMD Bipinbhai Hadvani for a further five-year term (October 2026-September 2031).
