AWL Agri Business is aiming to scale its food business turnover to ₹9,000–10,000 crore by March 2027, according to Managing Director and CEO Angshu Mallick in an interview with CNBC TV18. The growth target reflects the company’s confidence in sustained demand momentum, particularly in packaged food categories.
Mallick highlighted that the goods and services tax (GST) cuts have improved consumer sentiment by placing most packaged food and personal care products under the 5% tax slab. “This not only improves consumption but also enhances the competitive position of national brands against local players,” he said. The reform is expected to aid sales during the ongoing festive and wedding season.
On volume growth, Mallick said edible oil is likely to post strong single-digit expansion, while the foods business will continue its double-digit growth trajectory. He also pointed to the company’s investment of ₹4 crore in the National Mustard Mission to set up 3,000 model farms across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana. The initiative aims to raise mustard yields by nearly 30% over two years, contributing to the national oilseed mission.
AWL Agri Business expects its total turnover to cross ₹60,000–65,000 crore, aided by stable edible oil prices. Mallick noted that a good monsoon and softer inflation will support higher disposable income, keeping demand steady in the near term. Despite these positives, the company’s shares have declined over 26% in the past year, reflecting investor caution.
On September 25, 2025, AWL Agri Business share price opened at ₹253.75, compared to the previous close of ₹252.80. During the session, the stock touched a high of ₹262.45 and a low of ₹252.80 before closing at ₹261.20, up by 3.32% at the end of the trading day.
