The investment will fund a manufacturing facility in the United States, helping the company strengthen its supply chain and cater to growing demand for Indian packaged snacks across North America
Bikaji Foods International has infused an additional USD 2.9 million (around Rs 25 crore) into its wholly owned subsidiary, Bikaji Foods International USA Corp, as the company strengthens its presence in the United States and accelerates its international expansion strategy.
The company has subscribed to 290,000 equity shares, raising the subsidiary’s paid-up capital to USD 4.05 million, according to a regulatory filing. The transaction does not change the ownership structure, with Bikaji Foods International continuing to hold a 100 per cent stake in the US entity.
The fresh capital will be used to establish a manufacturing facility in the United States, allowing Bikaji to manufacture products locally rather than relying primarily on exports from India. The move is expected to enhance supply chain efficiency, improve product availability and support the company’s expansion plans in North America, where demand for Indian packaged snacks continues to rise.
Incorporated in 2023, Bikaji Foods International USA Corp is engaged in the trading of packaged food products, including bhujia, namkeen, sweets and frozen foods.
The subsidiary has reported consistent revenue growth since its inception. Its turnover increased from USD 1.1 million in FY24 to USD 1.77 million in FY25 and further to USD 2.62 million in FY26.
Overseas Expansion Strategy
The investment reflects a wider trend among Indian packaged food companies, which are increasing their overseas presence to serve both the expanding Indian diaspora and a growing consumer base seeking ethnic and ready-to-eat food products.
For Bikaji, the United States remains a strategically important international market. Setting up a local manufacturing base is expected to strengthen its market position, improve operational efficiencies and provide a platform for the next phase of growth in North America.
