KN Agri Resources Reports FY26 Financial Results: Revenue Grows 5% Despite Global Headwinds​

KN Agri Resources Limited announced its financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a standalone revenue from operations of Rs 1809.62 crore for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY'26), marking a 5% growth year-on-year. However, Profit After Tax (PAT) decreased to Rs 31.70 crores, compared to Rs 36.90 crores in FY25.

The decline in PAT was attributed to external factors, including the West Asia conflict. This conflict reportedly restricted soybean imports and impacted Soy DOC exports and domestic sales due to increases in costs related to ocean freight, local freight, and packaging. For the fourth quarter of FY'26, the company reported a slight drop in revenue of 3% year-on-year, which management stated was due to external headwinds arising from geopolitical volatility.

Vijay Shrishrimal, Managing Director of KN Agri Resources, noted that the company achieved its highest ever soybean crushing in FY'26 despite inconsistent soybean supply. He commented that while revenue for FY26 was slightly higher than FY25, earnings were lower due to the West Asian conflict, which impacted both revenue and earnings. He further explained that exports of Soy DOC were restricted because of reduced container availability and substantial increases in ocean freight rates, while domestic sales also suffered due to increased freight rates and packaging costs.

Growth Drivers and Strategic Focus​

Despite the macroeconomic challenges, the company highlighted significant growth in its specialized segments, pointing to a strategic focus on the retail channel.

Key performance highlights include:
  • Retail Sales: Branded Retail Sales experienced a 48% jump in FY26 compared to FY25. The company stated that it plans to further boost retail sales in FY27 by adding other edible oils and soy products, such as nuggets, to its portfolio and expanding its geographical outreach.
  • Lecithin Sales: Lecithin sales achieved a quantum jump of 38% in FY26 over FY25. This positive trend is anticipated to continue into FY27, with plans to offer customized variants of Lecithin in several new destinations.

Furthermore, the wholly owned subsidiary, KN Retail Pvt Limited, is reportedly nearing completion of its modern Pulses unit, which is expected to contribute to the company's performance in FY27.

KN Agri Resources Limited specializes in the production of Edible Oils, Soymeal, Soy value added products, and the supply chain of Agri Commodities. The company operates three strategically located plants in Madhya Pradesh, comprising solvent extraction plants, oil refineries, lecithin plants, and a flour mill. Many of these products are marketed under the brands 'KHANPAN' and 'CLASSIC'.
