The full read
Hindustan Foods enters FY27 with momentum after a 17% rise in annual revenue to ₹4,265 crore and a 29% jump in profit to ₹149 crore. The company’s contract manufacturing model is gaining scale, evidenced by a quarterly EBITDA high of ₹104 crore and a steady pipeline of new wins. It secured ₹780 crore in projects throughout the year, with ₹550 crore already live.
Execution matters.
The Panipat ice cream plant, which began production in April, is a central part of this expansion. Management is now adding another ₹150 crore to its capex plans for the current year, providing the necessary backing for their reaffirmed PAT guidance of ₹200-220 crore. The path to that growth is clear, provided the new capacity gains utilization without eroding margins. Hindustan Foods is scaling quickly, and the next test is holding that profit margin steady as volume increases.
