Emami Agrotech
Emami Agrotech is expanding beyond edible oils (ET Small Business, 6 Aug), guiding for ₹22,000 cr turnover in FY27 from ₹20,137 cr in FY26 (Business Standard, 19 Jul) and earmarking ₹750 crore for packaged snacks (The Hindu BusinessLine, 6 Aug). Higher import costs are forcing a third price increase since March, and low-cost oil imports via Nepal add pressure (Financial Express, 21 Sept).
What it means Edible-oil rivals such as AWL Agri Business face the same cost squeeze and price moves.
