Vidhi Specialty Food Ingredients reported FY26 revenue of ₹380 crore, marginally down from ₹382.3 crore due to global demand slowdown and tariff volatility. However, EBITDA grew 14.7% to ₹78 crore and PAT rose 20.8% to ₹49.15 crore, driven by product mix improvement and cost controls. EBITDA margin expanded 261 bps to 20.52%, with manufacturing sales margins at ~24-25%. Management guided for full capacity utilization in FY27 and expects value-added product contribution to double from 5% to 10-12%. A major capex of ₹75-85 crore is planned for new high-margin product lines, with commissioning in H2 FY28. The pharma coating range (Quote Icon) is in advanced sampling stages. Key risk: continued geopolitical disruptions in key export markets (Iran, Bangladesh, Philippines) could delay demand recovery.
