DSM Fresh Foods Limited, a technology-enabled farm-to-fork fresh food company operating under the Zappfresh brand, announced its audited consolidated financial results for the full year ended March 31, 2026.
H2 & FY26 Results Key Highlights: Strategic Acquisitions: Acquisition of ready-to-eat business from Ambrozia via Avyom Foodtech significantly strengthened the Company's export-ready manufacturing platform by adding a strong vegetarian portfolio to its core non-vegetarian categories. Meevaa Foods Expansion: Meevaa Foods, the Company's ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat brand, witnessed an encouraging launch response with over 5,000 orders within 48 hours in Delhi NCR, marking the Company s strategic entry into the broader convenience and value-added foods segment. Leadership Recognition: Deepanshu Manchanda, managing director, got appointed as goodwill ambassador by IIMSAM to advocate for UN Sustainable Development Goals - Zero Hunger, Good Health, & Partnerships. Seafood Backward Integration: The company significantly strengthened its seafood sourcing and backward integration ecosystem through partnerships with nearly 300 seafood farmers under an FPO model and the development of an integrated aquaculture platform spread across approximately 270 acres with an estimated annual production capacity of nearly 500 tonnes, enhancing sourcing reliability, traceability, quality control and long-term procurement efficiencies. Retail Store Expansion: The company continued scaling its local meat shop partnership initiative, where Zappfresh acts as a sourcing, supply chain and technology partner for neighbourhood retailers. The pilot involving around 15-20 stores delivered encouraging results in customer engagement and operational integration. Building on this success, the company has already identified and signed 100 store partners for the next phase of expansion.
Manchanda said, "FY26 has been the most consequential year in the history of DSM Fresh Foods. As a newly listed company, we have not only delivered our strongest-ever financial performance but also made deliberate, long-term investments in the foundational pillars that will shape the company over the next five years. Revenue growth of 69%, alongside a near doubling of PBT, reflects the outcome of strong operational discipline coupled with sustained consumer demand for clean, traceable, and trusted food products, a demand that continues to expand meaningfully. The acquisition of RTE business of Ambrozia has strengthened our manufacturing capabilities, Meevaa Foods has established our entry into the frozen and convenience segment, and our seafood sourcing alliances and aquaculture partnerships have enhanced our supply chain depth in a manner that is difficult to replicate in the short term. FY27 and FY28 are expected to be the years when these strategic investments begin translating into scaled outcomes, and we remain focused on executing this transition with conviction and discipline."
