“The financial year 2025-26 witnessed one of the toughest operating environments for the dairy industry in recent years, marked by severe milk shortages, elevated procurement inflation and weak flush season,” Brahmani Nara, Executive Director, Heritage Foods Ltd, said.
“With continued investments in premiumisation, new capacities and value-added products, we remain well positioned to drive sustainable long-term growth as industry conditions gradually normalise,” she added.
The company said timely and calibrated pricing actions along with higher VAP contribution supported blended realisation growth, with milk realisation increasing 4 per cent year-on-year the fourth quarter.
The wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Nutrivet Ltd, recorded a 33 per cent y-o-y increase in revenue to ₹245.4 crore in the financial year.
