Harshdeep Hortico missed its own FY26 target by ₹16 cr
Revenue came in at ₹69 crore against an internal goal of ₹85 crore, hit by a two-month LPG supply freeze and 60% raw material inflation. Management is hiking prices and counting on new products to close the gap.
— 1 earlier story on Harshdeep Hortico Ltd. →What's new
- FY26 revenue was ₹69 crore, missing the ₹85 crore internal target.
- A two-month LPG supply disruption and 60% raw material cost surge were the main culprits.
- Management has raised wholesale prices by 20-25% and is guiding for 25-30% growth in FY27.
Why this matters
Harshdeep's miss is a supply problem, not a demand one. The 60% raw material inflation forced a 20-25% price hike that now tests customer loyalty. The FY27 guidance for 25-30% growth is explicitly tied to geopolitical easing, a variable outside management's control.
What we're watching
- Whether the 20-25% price increase sticks or erodes demand.
- If the geopolitical conditions management is waiting on actually ease.
- How the new roto-moulded fountains and shade nets sell through.
The full read
Harshdeep Hortico wanted to grow to ₹85 crore in FY26. It got to ₹69 crore. The gap traces to two months of frozen LPG supply and raw material costs that jumped 60%. Management has responded by hiking wholesale prices 20-25%, but 10% of capacity remains choked by input shortages. The company is leaning on new products, including roto-moulded fountains and shade nets, to drive a forecast 25-30% revenue jump in FY27. That guidance is explicitly contingent on geopolitical conditions the company doesn't control. The transcript itself adds little beyond what was already disclosed in the results, but the detail on the supply shock and the price response clarifies the operational bind.
Questions answered

- What is the growth outlook for FY27?
