Mahi Madhusudan Kela Backed Indian Snack Food Company Records Highest-Ever Quarterly Revenue in Q3 FY26

Prataap Snacks Limited (PSL), the company behind the Yellow Diamond and Avadh brands, reported a historic performance for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The Indore-based snacks maker achieved its highest-ever quarterly revenue in Q3 FY26, marking a key milestone in its growth journey.

During Q3 FY26, revenue from operations rose to Rs 461.6 crore, registering a year-on-year increase of 3.8 per cent and a quarter-on-quarter growth of 6.9 per cent. Profit after Tax stood at Rs 5.7 crore, reflecting a sharp turnaround from a loss of Rs 14.7 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. EBITDA for the quarter came in at Rs 20.3 crore, with a margin of 4.4 per cent.

For the nine-month period ended December 2025, Prataap Snacks reported total income of Rs 1,304.5 crore. Operating EBITDA increased 40 per cent year-on-year to Rs 61.2 crore. The company posted a profit after tax of Rs 9.8 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 4.6 crore in the same period of FY25.

Commenting on the performance, Managing Director Amit Kumat noted that while revenue reached record levels, margins were impacted by a sequential rise in palm oil prices. The company also made a strategic investment of around Rs 9 crore to expand its presence in alternate channels, with a strong focus on quick commerce. According to Mr. Kumat, these investments are front-loaded and foundational, aimed at building long-term visibility and operational scale across digital platforms.

To structurally improve its future margin profile, the Board has approved a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility near Indore. The project involves an investment of up to Rs 425 crore and will add capacity of 60,000 MT. The new facility will feature higher levels of automation, improving process efficiency and reducing overhead costs.

Prataap Snacks continues to be one of the fastest-growing players in the organised snacks industry. The company currently operates 15 manufacturing facilities and has a distribution network of over 5,200 distributors, covering 27 states and 4 union territories across India.

The stock price has given 27.8 per cent retruns from 52-week low.
