Looking ahead, Patanjali Foods expects a strong finish to FY26, supported by favorable macroeconomic tailwinds, including GST 2.0 reforms, which could boost consumption through price reductions in larger packs and grammage additions in smaller packs.
The edible oil segment is not expected to be affected by GST changes. The company also expects an improvement in urban demand driven by easing inflation and tax reforms, while rural demand is likely to remain resilient on the back of a healthy Kharif crop, lower inflation and prosperity-led income support.
