New Delhi: Patanjali Foods, the FMCG arm of Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali group, is expanding its footprint in India’s fast-moving consumer goods market. From toothpaste and aloe vera to agricultural products and edible oils, the company has built a strong presence and continues to diversify its portfolio.
Listed on the stock market, Patanjali Foods has rewarded investors handsomely. Over the past five years, its shares have delivered returns of nearly 72 per cent. The stock, which traded at Rs 1,040 five years ago, now stands at Rs 1,784, giving the company a market capitalisation of Rs 64,758 crore on the BSE.
In FY24, edible oils contributed the bulk of Patanjali Foods’ revenue, accounting for about 70 per cent, while food and other FMCG products made up the remaining 30 per cent. Analysts note that demand for Patanjali products has been rising steadily, boosting both revenue and profit.
The company’s product line spans across food items like ghee, flour, pulses, noodles, biscuits, and even packaged sweets such as gulab jamun and rasgulla. Its personal care range includes shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, and oils, while it also manufactures Ayurvedic medicines.
With over 47,000 retail outlets, 3,500 distributors, and warehouses in 18 states, Patanjali has built a vast distribution network, challenging established FMCG giants and strengthening its hold on India’s consumer market.
