AWL
Agri Business Ltd., formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd., had a record FY25 marked by 24% revenue growth, 119% jump in operational EBITDA, and a PAT of ₹1,200 crore—its best since inception. The company is rapidly transforming into a diversified agri-business player, with investments in branded foods, FMCG, and value-added industry essentials, while maintaining a stronghold in the edible oil segment.
📈 Two Key Growth Drivers:
1. Branded Food & FMCG Expansion:

High-margin categories (e.g., soya nuggets, poha, soap, Fortune Cake Mix) growing in double digits.
GD Foods acquisition (₹400 Cr brand with 50% gross margin) will accelerate growth with synergy-based scaling.
2. Rural & Channel Penetration:
Retail reach expanded 20% YoY to 8.6 lakh outlets; rural towns coverage >50,000 now.
Quick commerce up 113% YoY, e-commerce growing >60% annually.
