Krishival Foods Reports Strong Q1 FY27 Results: Ice Cream and Nuts Segments Drive Growth​

Krishival Foods Limited reported its unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended on June 30, 2026. The results showcase the company's dual-engine FMCG model, with significant performance delivered by both the Melt N Mellow ice cream business and Krishival Nuts.

Management highlighted that the two businesses operate with complementary seasonality, which is crucial for balancing revenue across the year while enabling efficient working capital management and reducing overall business seasonality. The company aims to progressively increase the contribution of the ice cream segment as it scales further, building a more diversified FMCG platform.

Sujit Bangar, Chairperson and Whole-Time Director, stated that Melt N Mellow is emerging as a significant growth driver for Krishival Foods. He noted that while Q1 was seasonally favorable for the ice cream business, which generated revenue exceeding 50% of the total revenue from the previous financial year, both segments delivered resilient performance despite external headwinds, including diesel availability constraints and higher milk prices.
