Patanjali Foods Ltd delivered a strong financial performance in the third quarter of FY26, reporting double-digit revenue growth alongside a sharp rise in profitability. The company’s consolidated revenue from operations stood at Rs 10,483.7 crore in Q3 FY26, marking a 16.5% year-on-year increase from Rs 8,996.9 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. On a sequential basis, revenue grew 7.2% compared to Q2 FY26.
Total income for the quarter, including other income, rose 16.9% YoY to Rs 10,541.1 crore. Profitability saw a significant boost, with profit after tax (PAT) jumping 60% YoY to Rs 593.4 crore, up from Rs 370.9 crore in Q3 FY25. PAT also increased 14.9% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting improved operational leverage despite cost pressures.
Advertising and sales promotion expenses accounted for around 2% of quarterly revenue, translating to an estimated spend of Rs 209.7 crore. Meanwhile, total expenses rose 19% YoY to Rs 10,146.7 crore, driven by higher input costs. Sugar prices increased both annually and sequentially, while milk prices remained elevated on a YoY basis.
Segment-wise, FMCG growth was led by the biscuits category, which recorded revenues of Rs 490.11 crore, up 26.4% YoY. The dental care segment generated Rs 339.27 crore, followed by skin care at Rs 155.74 crore. For the nine-month period, Patanjali’s Doodh biscuit brand crossed Rs 1,000 crore in cumulative sales, underscoring strong consumer traction.
Commenting on the performance, CEO Sanjeev Asthana highlighted disciplined execution and record revenues across key metrics. Looking ahead, the company expects a strong finish to FY26, supported by easing inflation, favourable macroeconomic conditions, and sustained urban and rural demand growth.
