Key Strategic Moves
The Board approved acquiring 48.78 per cent equity in Petunt Food Processors (PFPPL), making it a wholly owned subsidiary upon completion.
Additionally, Bikaji will invest USD 500,000 into its US subsidiary, Bikaji Foods International USA Corp, towards new shares. A loan agreement worth Rs 4 crore was approved for PFPPL, along with a Rs 2.5 crore loan for Dadiji Snacks.
Operational Highlights

Outlook
Bikaji continues to expand capacity and market footprint, driven by domestic demand and international penetration. The added control over Petunt Food Processors, expansion in the US, and stable financial growth position the snacking company for stronger performance through FY26.
