AWL Agri Business Ltd., reported revenue of Rs 21,465 crore in Q4 FY26, registering a growth of 18% YoY, supported by healthy underlying volume growth of 14%. This growth was primarily driven by robust offtake in the Edible Oil segment, aided by improved consumer demand.
Operational EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs 628 crore, reflecting a strong growth of 40% YoY. Margin expansion was driven by improved profitability across both Edible Oil and Food segments. On unit metrics, both Gross Profit and EBITDA per MT witnessed meaningful improvement, supported by better profitability in Edible Oil.
Performance driven by strong edible oil demand and continued investments in foods and alternate channels. The macro environment during the quarter remained mixed, with continued volatility in commodity markets and intermittent supply-side challenges. However, consumer demand witnessed a sequential recovery compared to previous quarters, supporting improved offtake across categories. Against this backdrop, the company delivered a resilient performance, driven by strong execution, improved channel traction, and a sustained focus on strengthening its distribution network.
