Heritage Foods Q4 Net Profit Falls 37% Amid Rising Costs and Supply Challenges

Heritage Foods reported a 37% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 24 crore for Q4 FY26, impacted by higher milk procurement costs, supply constraints, and a weak flush season. Despite these challenges, revenue rose 10.4% to Rs 1,157.56 crore, supported by growth in value-added products, which increased their contribution to over 35%. For FY26, net profit fell 20% to Rs 150 crore, while the company emphasized investments in premiumisation and distribution to sustain long-term growth amid industry-wide inflation and supply issues.
