Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL) posted robust volume-led growth across most business segments in its second quarter and half-year results ended September 30, 2025. Managing Director Sunil Kataria said the company achieved strong margin improvements despite softness in the standalone Crop Protection segment. The Animal Feed business delivered record quarterly volumes, with cattle feed rising 18% year-on-year, while segment margins improved ~70 basis points, reflecting operational efficiency and cost management.
Vegetable Oils recorded stellar revenue and profitability growth, supported by higher crude palm oil and palm kernel oil realizations, record Oil Extraction Ratio (OER), and a 9% rise in Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) arrivals. Dairy performance remained resilient, with value-added products contributing 36% of sales, up from 32% a year ago. Godrej Foods’ branded segment, including Yummiez, posted 19% revenue growth, boosting branded salience to 86%. AstecLifeSciences reduced losses, driven by higher enterprise volumes and stronger margins, while ACI Godrej Bangladesh saw sequential volume growth of 6% despite year-on-year revenue decline.
In Guwahati, retailers reported strong demand for cattle feed, vegetable oils, and branded dairy and processed food products. Rising urban consumption and preference for value-added goods have driven sales, reflecting GAVL’s growing influence in the Northeast market. GAVL’s diversified portfolio and operational efficiency highlight its resilience amid challenging commodity prices and seasonal volatility.
