Adani Wilmar Q3 Results: Segment Performance
Income from edible oil rose 38% to Rs 13,387 crore, while volume growth was 4%. Branded sales declined in low single digits, primarily due to a double-digit decline in packed palm oil sales and downtrading by consumers. However, branded sales increased across all other edible oils, the company said.
Food and FMCG segment revenue jumped 22% to Rs 1,558 crore. The segment continued to experience double-digit growth in both general trade and e-commerce channels.
In the December quarter, the industry essentials segment's revenue increased by 4% to Rs 1,915 crore. The lower sale in castor meals and oil meal led to a decline in the segment's volume during the quarter.
